Fundraising Executive

Every day brings new challenges for our client. Every day, over 600 seriously ill children from across the UK arrive for life-changing treatments. Every day, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses. And every day, the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world.

It’s the ground-breaking research that our client has in common with Sparks, the children’s medical research charity, and the two charities came together in February 2017 to jointly fund only the highest quality of researchers all across the UK, and to respond to the severe underfunding in child health research.

Their staff help to raise vital funds for the hospital but are also in the unique position of representing both charities under the Charity Family banner. While the two charities live under the same roof, their fundraising activities and ways of working are different, and this gives their teams huge opportunity to think differently, innovate and play different roles in both charities abilities to reach their goals.

They have just entered an exciting new phase in Sparks’ fundraising history. One in three children with a rare condition won’t live to celebrate their fifth birthday. Their research can save their lives. A better future for critically ill children starts with you.

The No Time to Lose campaign is a four-year multichannel fundraising campaign providing a single, unifying £10m target and messaging for all forms of Sparks’ fundraising. Externally, this will provide the urgency supporters need to get involved, demonstrate the impact they can have more easily, and inspire them to talk about Sparks to their networks.
