The challenge

Vision impairment or blindness affects over 2.2 billion people globally, and at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. 89% of visually impaired children and adults live in poor countries. Sight loss is not purely a health issue, it directly affects an individual’s ability to access employment, causes social isolation and family breakdown, and is a significant factor in worsening poverty.

The British Council for Prevention of Blindness (BCPB) funds innovative and pioneering research projects, and part-funds training of eye care professionals from the world’s poorest countries. We focus almost entirely on supporting the few, who will transfer their knowledge and skills in blindness prevention to health care workers and influence governments who are then in the position to pass on the benefits to the many – the so-called ‘cascade effect’.  Our approach helps ensure that our interventions are sustainable and learning is shared widely to achieve the greatest impact.

BCPB is a very small charity making a huge impact on people’s lives. We employ a part-time Charity Manager and a part-time Fundraising Manager, and are now looking for someone dynamic to help us sustain our current work while our Fundraising Manager is on maternity leave.

Summary of Role

We are searching for a results driven person with at least three years fundraising experience and a strong track record, who is a confident communicator, proactive, flexible, comfortable working independently, and can hit the ground running. You will manage relationships with our existing trust and foundation donors, and research new potential trust and foundation supporters, develop and build new relationships with corporate funding partners, identify challenge events and promote them, research and identify new major donors, identify ways to develop legacy income, and maintain and develop our website and social media.  This role is 21 hours per week. You will be home based during Covid-19 with some work in due course at BCPB's office based in Bloomsbury, London WC1.

Overview:The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy

Established in 1995, the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (Lewa, or the Conservancy) is an award-winning catalyst and model for community-centric conservation in northern Kenya. Lewa has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and features on the IUCN Green List of Excellence in protected area management. The Conservancy is the heart of wildlife conservation, sustainable development and responsible tourism in northern Kenya. Lewa’s successful working model has inspired replication by other conservation organizations in the region, notably through its close partner organization, the Northern Rangelands Trust, which now comprises 39 community conservancies.

Lewa is home to 14% of Kenya's rhino population, the world's largest resident population of the endangered Grevy's zebra, and many other species. The Conservancy also promotes landscape connectivity for wildlife, especially for more than 6,500 elephants that move from the high-altitude areas in the Mount Kenya Forest, through Lewa and the neighboring Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve, to habitats in Samburu and areas further north. 

Lewa’s success can be attributed to its close working partnership with neighboring communities through education, clean water projects, health clinics, microcredit programs, and sustainable agriculture work. Through a broad range of programs, the Conservancy benefits more than 60,000 people in surrounding communities who in turn have become Lewa’s first line of defense against poachers and criminal elements who seek to profit from illicit trade in rhino horn, ivory, and other wildlife products.
