Big Heart Appeal Area Coordinator

Heart Foundation - Big Heart Appeal Area Coordinators

Friday 27 and Saturday 28 February 2026

The Heart Foundation are looking for big-hearted volunteer Area Coordinators to play a key role in the organisation of our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Big Heart Appeal.

Heart disease is New Zealand’s single biggest killer and claims the life of one person every 90 minutes. Many of these deaths are premature and preventable. Donations raised through the Big Heart Appeal will fund cutting‑edge research into heart disease and specialist training for New Zealand cardiologists.

Our Big Heart Appeal team will assist you along the way and will provide everything you need for a successful collection, including a detailed brief, volunteer rosters, street collection equipment and site permits.

Tasks Include :

• Liaise with and provide support for volunteer street collectors that are collecting at the site(s) you are looking after during the street collection.
• Receive and distribute street collector equipment (buckets, bibs, stickers) to the volunteers. Then once volunteers have collected, gather the equipment so the Heart Foundation can arrange for it to be collected from your place in the week(s) after the collection.
• Visit the site(s) to ensure everything is running smoothly during the two days of the street collection.
• Arrange banking of the donated funds at your closest ASB bank.
• Serve as the first point of contact for volunteer street collectors and troubleshoot any issues that may arise on the two appeal days.

Skills and Requirements :

We look forward to hearing from you.
