Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is a charity with our office based in the Olympic Park in East London. We occupy a unique position as the only national organisation led by disabled people. 90% of our trustees have lived experience of disability, as do the majority of our staff and volunteers. We describe ourselves as ‘disabled people leading change’.

Our charitable objectives include breaking the link between poverty and disability and challenging negative perceptions in society. We work to reduce the additional barriers that disabled people face. Evidence of injustice and inequality that we gather is taken forward into our policy and campaigning work.

We offer advice and information services to disabled people and member organisations. Our website reaches one million people each year with factsheets on subjects such as welfare benefits, housing, education, transport and accessing legal advice.

DR UK runs a range of innovative projects, working with partners including other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), to demonstrate new approaches to disabled people’s participation. For example, we have a successful model of working with disabled people, local DPOs, social workers and Sport England to change attitudes, perceptions and practices around physical activity and wellbeing.

To underpin this vital and far-reaching work we have a plan to increase our annual income from individual giving, legacies, grant funding and corporate activity.

The role

This is an exciting time to join us. This newly created post is designed to build our digital fundraising, grow the number of individuals actively supporting DR UK and increase income from trusts and foundations.

• supporting disabled people contacting our helplines

As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the design of new systems and ways of working. This will include helping shape the development of our digital strategy and the fundraising aspects of our new website, to be launched in the second half of 2021.
