Overview
Assisting with research into fundraising asks, looking at what worked well in the past to assess any potential gaps. Meeting people from all over the organisation to learn more about CRUK and its wider network, attending workshops and meetings. Leading my own research into social fundraising, CRUK's online presence and its success/ any areas for growth.
Skills
Communication across a large organisation, building new relationships with numerous different stakeholders. Time management and assisting with numerous tasks. My confidence in presenting findings has grown massively, being able to contribute in meetings.
Responsibilities
To start with I was assisting with tasks and being briefed on a range of element to develop my understanding of CRUK. But I have definitely been given my own tasks and feel responsible for this research and presenting my findings to senior staff.
Support & Guidance
Lots! My team and manager have been amazing at making me feel settled, knowing they are open to lots of questions and nothing is silly to ask.
Culture
The company have a great work culture and offer flexible working from home. Its a very inspiring and motivating work environment.
Your Impressions
I am half-way through my 12-week internship and its been amazing so far. Coming out of university and trying to get started in the charity sector can be difficult. CRUK have been great at teaching me so much about the organisation and helping my personal skills develop.
Yes
Definitely apply! Make sure to have lots of examples of when you have exhibited the skills they are looking for, show passion for the charity and be personable!
