Throughout the year, we have numerous fundraising opportunities for which we rely upon volunteer support to ensure their success. These can include bucket and street collections, event support at organised sporting events, information stands at fetes and exhibitions, and representing ELF at presentations and talks.
On this page, we list all volunteer opportunities for which we need support. If you can donate a couple of hours of your time to volunteer at an event, then we'd love to hear from you! Please contact Development Manager Andy Jordan via andy@elfcharity.org.uk or 07508 717773 to register.
Volunteers needed:
Charity Car Park - Barnfield Crescent, Exeter
We have 12 shifts per year at this city centre car park, which is handed over to local charities on the weekend. Working in pairs, volunteers collect set parking payments and manage the site. Full training is provided and we always strive to pair solo volunteers together where possible, so it's a great way to meet fellow ELF supporters.
Shifts are 2 hours, between 8.30-2.30 on a Saturday and 9-1 on a Sunday.
Our remaining 2026 shifts to fill to fill are:
(1 person means we already have 1 person in place and just need 1 more to join them, all other shifts we still require 2 people):
Sun 27th Sep: 9-11 (1 person) & 11-1 (1 person)
Sat 24th Oct: 10.30-12.30 (1 person) & 12.30-2.30
Sun 29th Nov: 9-11 (1 person) & 11-1
Sun 20th Dec: 9-11 (1 person)
Exeter Chiefs bucket collections at Sandy Park
We are delighted to have been renewed as one of the Exeter Chiefs Foundation's designated charities for the 2026-27 season. ELF will be receiving a donation of £4,380 from the Foundation in September thanks to our volunteer collectors' efforts last year, so these are important collections for us!
We have two matches this season for which we need volunteer bucket collectors:
27th Sep - Exeter Women vs Leicester Tigers 1pm KO (12 volunteers)
Sat 8th May 2027 - Exeter Men vs Bath KO TBC (40 volunteers)
Volunteers take part in a bucket collection before the game, during half-time and at the end of the match as supporters leave the stadium. As a thank you, you'll receive a free standing ticket to watch the match between your duties and have access to all the post-match entertainment in the stadium.
To register for any of the above roles, please email Development Manager Andy here or call 07508 717773
