This is a fantastic opportunity to launch and grow an exciting new challenge events programme, while delivering standout fundraising and engagement events for Cherry Trees.
You’ll be at the heart of innovation- working closely with our Community & Partnerships team and Head of Fundraising and Communications to boost participation, elevate supporter experiences, and maximise the success of our bespoke events.

You bring:
- Strong communication skills across all channels
- Excellent organisation and attention to detail
- A natural ability to connect with and inspire others
- A passion for delivering exceptional supporter experiences
You understand that every interaction matters, and you go the extra mile to create moments that delight, inspire loyalty, and keep supporters coming back for more.
Why Cherry Trees?
We have ambitious plans to support even more children and families - and we need someone who shares our passion and drive.
If you’re ready to:
- Make a meaningful impact
- Grow income, participation and supporter engagement
- Be part of something truly special
…then we’d love to hear from you.
