Having battled through the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, Gunnersbury is about to embark on an ambitious programme to reinvent and relaunch our varied portfolio of services and restore the health of our finances.

Responding to the challenges of two lockdowns and the loss of over 40% of our annual income  during the past year, we have already taken steps to successfully enhance our grant application activities, launched our first community fundraising appeal (#fortheloveofGunnersbury) and rapidly developed our fundraising capacity. As a social enterprise we have also responded flexibly to the challenges posed to our established commercial income generation activity, embracing a range of diverse, micro business opportunities, providing pitches for  small scale catering operators and hosting regular, fortnightly markets within the historic grounds of Gunnersbury Park.

We are now seeking to recruit an experienced, creative and entrepreneurial fundraising and business development professional.

The successful candidate will have a proven track record of delivering large scale and sustained success in securing grant funding, growing individual and corporate donations and sponsorship and winning public sector commissioning contracts. You will display an entrepreneurial flair and  demonstrate the ability to work in partnership with colleagues, partners and the business community to leverage commercial income opportunities to maximise the generation of income from a diverse range of sources to underpin the delivery of Gunnersbury CIC’s mission.

Based at the historic grade II* Gunnersbury Park House located in 72 hectares of listed, landscaped park, within easy access of major public transport routes we offer an exceptional working environment. You will benefit from staff discount at the on-site Gunnersbury sports hub and café facilities and the opportunity to join a young multi-disciplinary team of heritage professionals, teaching and education staff, horticulture, community and events specialists.

Background

RECLAIM is a youth leadership and social change organisation. We are a small but bold charity, using our experience and platform to support and amplify the voices of working class young people. 

Our long term goal is to create a Britain where those of us from working-class backgrounds are proud of – and not held back by – our roots. We want working-class people to be represented in places where decisions are made about their lives and to be recognised for their talent, strength, and diversity. We want to see working-class young people at the heart of this, in a country that ensures that they are seen, heard, and leading change.

Through our work we run programmes to support young people to recognise and develop their leadership skills. We support them to lead campaigns on issues they care about. Recent campaigns include:

• We supported young people to successfully campaign for free bus travel for all 16-18 year olds across Greater Manchester. A policy which now benefits 40,000 young people, making 250,000 free journeys per week and saving them and their families an average of over £500 per young person per year.

• We helped young people highlight and challenge the increasing use of violent and dehumanising language in politics. The campaign gained widespread media coverage and resulted in new commitments from the Speaker, Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.

• Young people we support have been at the forefront of highlighting the impact of COVID19 on working-class communities and demanding better recognition of the essential workers keeping the country going during lockdown.

This year we’ve launched Change Makers - a new programme for working-class young people who want to step forward and take their place in addressing the issues that hold them back. It’s an online campaign leadership programme to equip young people aged 16-19 years old with the skills and knowledge to identify and influence those in power and make effective and long-lasting change.

About us 

Student Action for Refugees is the national student movement building a society where refugees are welcomed and can thrive, as equal members of the community. 

People arriving in the UK face many challenges in both claiming their right to asylum and building new lives. Challenges that result from a hostile policy environment, negative public attitudes, unhelpful media narrative and a lack of access to services. Our network of STAR student societies and activists is creating a more understanding, just and welcoming society - today and in the future by; campaigning for policy change; providing practical support and connecting communities through volunteering; improving access to university; sharing information about asylum and the lived experience of refugees to shift narratives. 

Last year was our 25th anniversary, marking a quarter century of a vibrant student refugee welcome movement that has impacted on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and has made a difference far beyond the walls of universities and colleges. 

In 2019/20 we were active in 61 universities and colleges in England, Scotland and Wales - 53 STAR student groups, in 39 towns and cities, were supported and empowered to take local and national action to welcome refugees. The groups were run by 285 STAR student leaders with a membership of 4096 students. Together we:

• Campaigned for the right to work for asylum seekers, an end to immigration detention, improved refugee family reunion rights and improved access to university and more. 

• Volunteered in partnership with 43 local charities recruiting 1,623 STAR student volunteers for 82 projects supporting 3,166 refugees – providing academic support for children, English conversation clubs, drop-in centres, IT workshops, gardening projects, sports clubs, fun community events and more. 

• Organised 550 events attended by 22,000 people, providing a platform for experts by experience, academics, activists and organisations, to inform about asylum and the experiences of refugees. 

• Supported 9 universities with scholarship development, 8 STAR student groups to campaign for Equal Access at their institutions and we provided information and advice to over 300 prospective students and university staff.
