Momentum Children’s Charity supports families across London, Surrey, and Sussex whose children are facing cancer or a life-challenging condition. We work in partnership with local hospitals to provide tailored support, therapy services, and respite breaks to help families cope during the most difficult times.

As a Community Champion, you will be a passionate advocate for Momentum Children’s Charity in your local area. You’ll raise awareness, inspire others to get involved, and play a vital role in helping us build a growing network of community-led fundraising support.

• Collection Tin Coordination: Place and monitor collection tins in local shops and venues, and collect donations (access to a car or   ability to travel locally preferred).

• Leafleting and Posters: Distribute leaflets and put up posters in local shops, schools, libraries, and community spaces.

• Event Promotion: Help promote local fundraising events and initiatives, encouraging friends, family, and neighbours to take part.
