About CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.
We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.
Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.
The Role
Challenge Events at CoppaFeel! are going through a very exciting period of growth! Therefore, we are looking for a passionate new team member to take on the role of Challenge Events Assistant for our bespoke (CoppaFeel! led) challenge events.
The role of Challenge Events Assistant will sit within the CoppaFeel! Challenge Events team, in the Fundraising Department.
You will mostly work alongside our Bespoke Challenge Events Manager and another Challenge Events Assistant to support on CoppaFeel!’s Bespoke Challenge Events portfolio - consisting of our 5 flagship ‘CoppaTrek!’ events that will look to bring in over £2 million in 2025.
Whilst our trekking events will be your main focus, you may also have the opportunity to support our sporting events programme that includes iconic events such as the London Marathon, London Landmarks Half Marathon, Royal Parks Half Marathon and Hackney Half - to name but a few!
In this role, you will be the first point of contact for our CoppaTrek! participants, providing excellent supporter experience and building relationships whilst offering motivation and fundraising advice. Alongside delivering outstanding supporter care, you will also handle essential administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our day-to-day operations and so that our events go off without a hitch.
This role does require some evening and weekend work - although not behind the laptop! Instead you’ll be lacing up your hiking boots, and walking and talking alongside our CoppaTrek! participants. Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to travel and may have to stay away from home on occasion. Should you be required to work on weekends, you will be entitled to time off in lieu.
This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office at least 2 days per week. You will also be required to attend the office for quarterly team meetings, department meetings and in person training. We will provide plenty of notice for when you are required to be in for these purposes
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone to join our growing fundraising team and get invaluable experience within the charity events sector - all whilst helping to shape the future of CoppaFeel!’s challenge events offering! You'll be at the forefront of our mission to educate and empower young people about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, and therefore we are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate person, who thrives in a busy environment.

Invitation To Tender: Provision Of Accountancy Services
The FFLM invites suitably qualified and experienced accountancy firms to submit tenders for the provision of professional accountancy services.
About us
The Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine (FFLM) was founded in 2005 and is an
established international membership organisation and charity committed to the
development and maintenance of the highest possible standards in forensic and legal
medicine.
The specialty covers professionals working in the following disciplines: forensic medical
practitioners (forensic physicians, forensic pathologists, forensic psychiatrists, forensic
odontologists); medico-legal and dentolegal advisers; clinicians working in secure and
detained settings and medically and legally qualified coroners.
Introduction
The FFLM is tendering for accountancy services. We are a registered Charity (1119599).
FFLM prepares its accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting
and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Bidders must demonstrate experience in preparing and advising on accounts compliant
with this framework.
Our financial year runs from 1 January to 31 December. Our annual turnover is between
£800,000 and £1.1M and an overview of our finances is available in our 2024 financial
report.
We employ a Finance and Membership Manager and a Finance Administrator to manage
our day-to-day income and expenditure. We are tendering for an accountant to provide
support to our Finance Team and help us to meet our legal obligations regarding financial
matters.
As our turnover passed £1M, we are now subject to annual independent audit, which is
currently carried out by MHA. We will require an accountant to support the FFLM in
preparing accounts and other documents for this purpose.
We are a small organisation, with 4.7 FTE staff members and support an organisation
funded by the Home office, the Institute for Addressing Strangulation (IFAS) which has 3.9
FTE staff.
IFAS is a Home Office funded initiative which leads national work on the recognition,
response, and prevention of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation. It functions as an
internal programme of the FFLM, operating under its governance and financial
management structures. All accounting, reporting, and compliance responsibilities for IFAS
are handled within the broader framework of the FFLM.
Our staff work entirely remotely, and we do not maintain any office space. Due to our size,
we need our accountant to provide proactive advice and support, be readily available and
provide excellent customer service.
Tender Submission
If you have any questions regarding the tender or to request a copy of our 2024 accounts, please contact our Interim Office Manager, Charlene Campbell
We look forward to receiving your submission.
In the spring of 2025, the Vivensa Foundation launched its new strategic framework and identity. Formerly known as the Dunhill Medical Trust, it was back in the 1980s that our founder's niece recognised that the shifting demographics would drive a need for investment in a high-quality research base to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and ageing-related disease, together with the delivery of innovation to improve health and social care services for older people.
Our charitable objects were never more relevant than they are today and the opportunities are immense to support our academic and clinical researcher community to make real systemic change.
Today, we are the stewards of an endowment valued at around £170M, and have committed to distributing at least £30M over the next five years in in grant funding. We have also ring-fenced a part of our endowment for social investment. You can read more about our Strategic Framework here.
We now have a full time, permanent vacancy for an aspiring grants management professional to help us to deliver our strategic plan. As a member of the Grants Team and reporting to the Director of Research, you will be a primary point of contact for organisations applying for funding for academic or clinical research, as well as working with the team to develop, implement and evaluate our funding streams. As such, you will make key contributions to the development and delivery of our core services, reinforcing our reputation for high quality and support for the research community. If you’d like to explore using your grants management experience or research training in a subject area relevant to the work of the Foundation in a slightly different context, identify with our values and have the great attention to detail, flexible “can do” attitude and restless curiosity essential to the success of a small, expert team, go to our website to download the full job description and person specification and find out how to apply.
