Mary’s Meals is a global movement that sets up school feeding projects in some of the world’s poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education.
Our idea is a simple one that works. We provide one daily meal in a place of learning in order to attract chronically poor children into the classroom, where they receive an education that can, in the future, be their ladder out of poverty.
The Supporter Engagement Officer informs and inspires people in the UK about the work of Mary’s Meals in order to secure increased support and funding for the organisation’s overseas school feeding programmes.
Though involved in a broad spectrum of activity, the fundraising officer has particular responsibility for building relationships with grassroots supporters within schools, universities, clubs, faith groups and churches – including coordination of our extremely dedicated volunteer speakers.
The Supporter Engagement Officer will also work closely with the communications team to ensure that there is a consistently integrated approach across activities, upholding and promoting the values of the organisation.
