MAIN PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF JOB
The Fundraising Manager will play a key role in the delivery of our new fundraising strategy by maximising income predominantly from individuals, community, events and corporate fundraising. You will lead on the growth of a donor acquisition and retention programme, helping us to attract new, committed supporters and will be responsible for the delivery of specific agreed fundraising targets.
