Fundraising volunteers
Our fundraising volunteers take on many roles at the British Heart Foundation. From organising fundraising events with their local fundraising manager, to speaking to local groups about lifesaving research and ways to support us.
Our fundraising volunteers are the friendly face of the British Heart Foundation in their local communities.
They raise awareness about heart and circulatory diseases as well as our work to tackle them. Most importantly, they raise money to help keep hearts beating and blood flowing – keeping families together for longer.
We offer our volunteers:
- the chance to meet new people, make friends and have fun
- the opportunity to make good use of your skills and have a go at new activities
- support and guidance from local BHF fundraising manager.
To find out more about becoming a fundraising volunteer get in touch with your local BHF fundraising manager and check out our community volunteer vacancies near you.
Fundraising groups
Our thriving network of local groups organise events to raise money for vital research.
From bake sales and balls, to bucket collections and barn dances, they plan and promote all sorts of fun events in their local communities to bring people closer to the British Heart Foundation and raise money for our life saving research.
There’s also opportunity for group members to introduce us to local businesses, help with CPR training events and speak to other local clubs and associations about our work.
All of this comes with the support of your local fundraising manager who can help guide you.
You can join one of our existing groups or form a new group of your own.
BHF business boards
Our BHF Business Boards are networks of business leaders across the UK who are passionate about BHF’s work.

The money they raise supports our lifesaving research, helping us fund even more medical breakthroughs.
