This is an exciting time to join the English National Ballet (ENB) Development team as Grants Manager.

ENB has always been a pioneering ballet company and our mission is to take world-class ballet to as many people as possible, wherever they are and whatever their means. We tour annually to over nine UK towns and cities, and prestigious venues worldwide like the Bolshoi and Paris Opera. Our significant and influential contribution to Britain’s cultural sector is demonstrated by strong and diverse audiences, regular recognition by key industry awards, and the elite talent that we attract.

In 2015 we embarked upon an ambitious capital project to relocate from our landlocked and listed rehearsal premises in Kensington to a new purpose-built home on London City Island (LCI). The new building is a 93,000 square foot industry-leading centre for dance where ballet is created, taught, rehearsed, developed and shared with our audiences, nationally and internationally – from a Dance for Parkinson’s participant in Tower Hamlets, to an audience member in Manchester enjoying the premiere of an award-award winning new production.

We successfully achieved the £36m target and moved into our new home in July 2019.

Our capital fundraising campaign attracted support and championship from significant funders and individual donors, and we have continued to build on those relationships to support our ongoing artistic, digital, engagement and participation activities.

As we look to the future, the opportunities to increase revenue from fundraising are many and varied, and we are looking for someone with rigor, passion and fantastic written and verbal communication skills to drive our fundraising from charitable and statutory grant-makers. We have ambitious and achievable targets, along with multiple compelling fundraising narratives around high-quality and impactful artistic and social outputs such as access to the arts, health and wellbeing, community engagement and societal cohesion.

The Grants Manager is a key member of our Development team. Reporting to the Head of Philanthropy and working closely with people from across the company, you will grow income from charitable trusts and foundations, define new propositions and strategies, and support the Executive team in producing reports and applications for our statutory funding partners.

We have supportive Trustees, leadership that understands how vital fundraising is to our sustainability and growth, a dedicated Development Board and committed staff, dancers and creatives who are enthusiastic about engaging our supporters and sharing their knowledge and experience.

If you understand and can persuasively champion the arts’ value and impact, have experience of meeting fundraising targets and excellent relationship management, and want to work for an inspiring, hard-working and fun company at the top of its game, we look forward to hearing from you.

FareShare

Job Description –Senior Trusts and Grants Manager

Reporting to: Head of Fundraising

Location: Hybrid / Office Based

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 35 Hours

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000

About FareShare

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 10,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2021, we redistributed 127 million meals, the equivalent of 4 meals every second through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues.

As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value.

At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.

The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide.

It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.

To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve

unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our

fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we

need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale. There has never been a more

exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.

By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from Donors, Corporate Food and Fundraising Partners, Foundations and Volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food

to support the UK’s most vulnerable.

FareShare’s Strategy & Vision
 

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

Our Values: Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead

Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen

Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries

Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger

Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and

achieve the most for our clients/customers.
