About the Role
As an MDUK Volunteer, you can get involved in helping the charity in many ways. There are opportunities for you to work in Fundraising, Events, Social Media, Public Speaking or even become an Ambassador. Once you have registered to volunteer, we can direct you into a more suitable, specific pathway.
With more people affected by muscular dystrophy and more people supporting the charity, we need your help to support our Regional Development Team, to get into the local community and to make a difference.
The outcomes of this role mean that as a charity we have supporters that are better engaged, we can reach or exceed fundraising targets and encourage more people to get involved in our mission.
