HELP!!!!!!

Hello!

i'm a recent graduate and decided i wanted to work in the charitable sector. i applied for a job at a local charity for a sole paid fundraiser role. i went for the interview and told the company i had ZERO experience but was eager to learn etc. they explained there was no need for experience, that i would be trained and given all the support i need. i took the job.

i arrive, find the last fundraiser went on long term sick, therefore funds haven't been recieved ina long while and there are no systems in place for me to track previous relationships etc. also i have been given no training, i've just been left to it. i do feel that you do learn best when on the job but i have NO experience! i'm really worried.

targets are now being mention but i feel this is unreasonable given they have not followed what we agreed.

also i have had no contract to sign.........???

i feel like i'm sinking BUT i think the charity is a really worthwhile cause and i don't know if i should give it more time??? (bben ther just over a month now)

please help!!

any and all advice would be brill, thanks!
