This is a dynamic, outward-facing role ideal for someone who is locally connected, socially confident, and wants to make a difference.

You will support fundraising activity across three key areas:

• Community fundraising – building regular giving, running appeals, and engaging schools, community groups and parish councillors.
• Corporate fundraising – developing partnerships with local businesses and nurturing existing supporters.
• Grant support – assisting the CEO with funding applications when needed.

You will also help create engaging content for social media and digital campaigns to support fundraising efforts.
