Khulisa (meaning ‘to nurture’ in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity with South African roots. Since 2007, Khulisa have developed a reputation as experts in supporting young people at risk of exclusion through therapeutic, safe exploration of behaviour which is deemed as ‘disruptive’ or ‘challenging’, and in many cases is symptomatic of the impact of trauma, abuse and neglect.

We have worked in prisons since 2007 and in schools and pupil referral units (PRUs) since 2011, delivering SEL (social and emotional learning) programmes. It is now widely accepted that children’s social skills are more accurate predictors of their health, wealth and criminal history in later life than IQ or social background. Khulisa’s team of therapists and programme managers work with young people to provide a range of interventions, designed to build social and emotional skills. Over time we have also realised the importance of young people being in an environment which responds effectively to their emotional needs. As a result, we now take a whole-school approach, delivering our interventions in tandem with professionals, providing  training and resources for teachers and parents/carers.

Khulisa is a charity funded predominantly by grants from Trusts and Foundations and sales. With a team of 18 staff and 11 freelance facilitators, we support over 1,000 young people and train over 3,000 professionals each year. Our key partners include schools, and local authorities. We are members of London Youth, Clinks, the SCYJ and other community groups which promote the wellbeing of vulnerable young people. 

Why Now?

Khulisa is responding to rapidly increasing demand for services, caused in part by the impact of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns which left many vulnerable children isolating in harmful or disrupted environments. We’ve worked tirelessly to meet this heightened demand and our team is growing quickly. This year we’re looking at 50% growth, with an aim to provide 350 young people with intensive support, and thousands more through light touch interventions and systemic change.

In order to make this happen, and to continue expanding our delivery across both London, the North West and Midlands, we are looking for an exceptionally talented fundraiser to support our income generation, and growth. You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we launch a series of innovative new services across new schools, and drive new strategies to on-board values-aligned funders. As a result you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in different areas of fundraising make as well as make a sustainable difference to young people as part of a team delivering long-term direct and systemic change.

We invest and nurture our team, providing regular opportunities for connection, learning and development. With rapid growth underway, there is also plenty of opportunity to also develop your career and skill set. 

We can’t wait to meet you!

Plant Your Future is an international grassroots environmental charity with the vision of a restored Amazon Rainforest. To achieve this, we’re working to promote sustainable farming with Peruvian smallholder farmers, empowering them to adopt agroforestry and generate sustainable incomes through sale of sustainably harvested fruit, timber and carbon credits. Our work is not only an effective way to tackle climate change, but it also reduces the deforestation pressure on the rainforest and helps protect irreplaceable high conservation value rainforest biodiversity, including threatened animal and bird species. To date, we have helped 17 rural communities in the Loreto and Ucayali regions of the Peruvian Amazon to plant over 150,000 trees. Right now, we’re in the middle of a significant scale-up, with a plan to plant one million trees by 2025 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated self-starter with a successful track-record in fundraising to help Plant Your Future continue to grow and achieve its goal of planting a million trees and beyond.
