Chell Perkins Ltd… Who are we? 

There are thousands of charities throughout the UK with the most amazing vision for transforming the lives of those in their communities. However, unfortunately some of these charities are unable to unlock the full potential of their vision due to a lack of finances, resources and/or fundraising expertise. At the heart of it, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a very real and lasting impact on the third sector through increasing the availability of high quality fundraising. We achieve this by identifying, partnering with and nurturing the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, effective and affordable fundraising support.

Before forming Chell Perkins Ltd, we were fortunate to work for charities passionate about developing their staff. They offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well.

For the last four years, Chell Perkins Ltd has been trying to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraising Training Programme and we are now looking for support from an experienced Head of Fundraising to take this programme further. 

Shannon Trust is a charity operating across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, supporting thousands of prisoners a year to transform their lives by unlocking the power of reading.

We are now looking for a new proactive, committed, and enthusiastic colleague to join our team and help us continue our journey towards greater impact through reducing re-offending and improved life chances.

The Fundraising Manager will take an insight-led approach to income generation through high quality applications to grant-making trusts and foundations, the growth of public donations, and nurturing relevant external relationships using tailored communications, marketing tools and resources.  We want to hear from applicants who can lead, foster innovation, be a team player, and who bring a track record in attracting funding to criminal justice related work.  Can you take us to the next level?

Passionate… professional… creative… pro-active… 

Do you want to use your skills to make a real difference in the world? Through quality fundraising, Chell Perkins Ltd exists to make a very real and lasting impact on the third sector. We want to identify, partner with and nurture the next generation of potential fundraisers to see all charities have access to bespoke, exceptional and affordable fundraising support.

Personally, Stuart and I have been blessed by the charities we have worked with. They offered us training, sharpened our fundraising skills, challenged us, and invested in our ability to fundraise well: releasing us to help more individuals with deeper support. 

Chell Perkins Ltd wishes to pay this kindness forwards through our Junior Fundraising Training Programme. 

Break into fundraising and make a difference:

If you want to use your skills to help charities, this five year training programme will teach you everything you need to know about fundraising, whilst giving you considerable on-the job training and support. 

How it works:

Year 1 - Fundraising Officer: You’ll be inducted into an immersive training programme, featuring online/classroom training, self study and key textbooks. There is plenty of practical experience with trusts and foundations, event, corporate, individual donor and major donor fundraising. This is all aimed to equip you for your Certificate in Fundraising in year two.

Year 2 - Fundraising Consultant: This year you will have the opportunity to complete IOF's Certificate in Fundraising.  This is the industry recognised qualification for frontline fundraisers, fully funded by Chell Perkins Ltd. It provides the theory and principles behind successful fundraising and practical skills to make an immediate impact on fundraising results. With your increased experience and knowledge, you will find yourself taking the lead more with our client’s trust and foundation, direct mail, capital and event fundraising. 

Year 3/4 - Senior Consultant: By year three, you will have experienced fundraising across a diverse range of income streams. This learned experience will now see you assisting Chell Perkins Ltd with strategy formation and consultation work throughout the third sector. We will offer some candidates the chance at this stage for our Senior Consultants to enter into a Level 7 qualification either with the Institute of Fundraising or the University of Kent.

Year 5 - Principle Consultant/Team Leader: As the scheme progresses and you continue to sharpen your fundraising toolkit, you will be given the choice of two directions: working towards being a Principal Consultant or becoming a Team Leader. 

Team Leader - This role will see you managing your own team of fundraisers within a speciality or sector that suits you best. You will be responsible for ensuring all output from your team is exceptional quality, bringing the best outcomes for the charities we work for. You will help to mentor and train some of the newer members of staff on your team.

Principle Consultant - You will use your skills to now lead and partner with your own charity clients. In working with charities throughout the last 4 to 5 years, you will have built relationships and grown your capacity to support organisations in a variety of ways. Chell Perkins Ltd will support you as you transform charities through professional, passionate and pro-active fundraising.

Both roles will be instrumental to ensure that Chell Perkins Ltd continues to support charities and make their Vision A Reality.

Why ChellPerkins?

At the end of this scheme you will be a fundraising expert, trained in every aspect of the job and capable of talking to clients and organisations of all shapes and sizes. But there’s much more to the scheme than the nuts and bolts. Although we are biased (of course) the Chell Perkins team are a great bunch of people to work with. We really care about your future, our clients and the world we all share. We want you to become part of the family, enjoying a sometimes-chaotic, always-caring and fully-empowering work culture that is aimed at helping you realise your own potential.

Our story

At Lightful, we believe that those doing the greatest good deserve the best technology.

We’re passionate about making the best technology accessible to charities and nonprofits. Our products and solutions help organisations unleash the power of technology and make the good work they do even greater. Our products and services are designed to simplify the work and amplify the impact of charities and nonprofits. 

In 2015, Lightful was launched by Vinay Nair, Johnny Murnane and Carlos Miranda. Three friends who all had different exposure to the nonprofit sector, they all realised the same thing - nonprofits were not getting the technology they deserve.

Before evolving into Lightful (pre-2015), we were a YouTube certified multi-channel network (MCN) known as Thunderboom. Our original intention was to help charities and nonprofits of all shapes and sizes monetise their video content.

Things changed - as they do - and we eventually pivoted. We left our MCN ambitions behind, and we launched our now award-winning Lightful Social Platform. At that time, the company became known as Lightful.

From there we grew our consultancy services - now Lightful Solutions - and developed a comprehensive 12-month course to equip charities with the digital skills and capabilities they need to become more resilient - Lightful Learning's BRIDGE programme.

Lightful values

As a certified B Corp, we’re a values-led organisation, and our values are integral to the Lightful culture. Our Lightful values are:

• To act with audacity while remembering humility
• To understand the importance of both listening and leadership
• To practice generosity whilst showing accountability
• These all lay on the foundation of respect and integrity

Our business units
We offer three services to charities and nonprofits; Lightful Products, Lightful Learning and Lightful Solutions. Each business unit is different but highly interconnected, designed for the different needs of the social and environmental-focused organisations we’re proud to serve and work with.

• Lightful Components, a toolkit of adaptable components designed to build flexible, design-driven online communities

Lightful Learning

Lightful Learning helps our partners master real world skills through a combination of tools and support, building their confidence and resilience. It was designed to grow digital skills and increase effectiveness within the nonprofit sector.

Building resilience in digital growth and engagement (BRIDGE) is Lightful Learning's flagship programme for impact organisations looking to future-proof their operations at a time of great change. It combines a learning syllabus, delivered through a combination of live and recorded sessions and webinars, with the Lightful Social Platform. BRIDGE is supported by foundations and other funders, and offered to small-to-medium sized charities that they support.
