Friends Group Founding Member
Our Friends Groups do amazing work to support Anthony Nolan by raising lifesaving funds and spreading the word in their local area.
What does a Friends Group look like?
Most groups are made up of between 5 and 10 people, but they come in all shapes and sizes! There are some groups that have been around for over 30 years, and others that are much newer. Friends Groups are led by a committee who meet regularly to help plan fundraising, awareness events, and sometimes recruting potential donors to our stem cell register. They organise everything from bucket collections to raffles, golf days to quiz nights, and even hosting balls.
What does being a Friends Group Founding Member require?
We are looking to set up more new Friends Groups across the UK. This role requires someone who is confident and keen to share the work of Anthony Nolan with their local community. We need someone who isn’t shy about asking people to get involved and support their group, including friends, local businesses, and any other contacts in your community. This role will require you to recruit a committee of volunteers who will be happy to take on roles within the group (eg: treasurer, secretary). If this sounds like something you’d be good at, please do get in touch!
What support does Anthony Nolan provide?
Friends Groups have the full help and support of the Anthony Nolan fundraising team, who are on hand to help every step of the way. We will provide training for you and for your committee on everything you need to know to be a successful Friends Group. Once formed, your group will have a dedicated member of the fundraising team as your contact at Anthony Nolan, who will be on hand to offer advice and support.
