Formed in 1963, Hansel have been caring for and supporting adults with learning difficulties for almost 60 years. Their practices and methods have progressed over this time, but their core beliefs have never changed: Enabling and empowering people to lead the life they choose, ensuring they are recognised as equal citizens and participate fully in their community.

Established as Hansel Village by Isobel and Tom Murdoch, inspired by their daughter, Lindy, who had Down’s Syndrome, through the hard work of the Murdoch’s, alongside other supporters, the charity was able to grow and develop into a fully integrated community providing residential care, education, sheltered employment and leisure opportunities.

Over the years hansel has continually evolved, reflecting society as a whole. This was evident in 1998 when Hansel Village grew into the Hansel Village of charities. This allowed for the group to grow into a major Scottish charity, recognised as a leader in learning disability service provision. Change and progression is still crucial to Hansel today, but the intrinsic values have never deviated, and Isobel and Tom Murdoch’s vision continues to live on: supporting people to make the most of life.

Opportunity to join and grow with a supportive, friendly and small team, developing existing and new relationships with trust funders.

The Caxton Youth Organisation is a Westminster youth club focused on helping young people with physical and mental disabilities. They offer a safe space for fun, friendship and socialising, as well as structured programmes in communications, cultural opportunities, health and personal care, and independence.

The CYO is looking for a Fundraising Manager who will bring in £220k per year for core and additional projects. They are already 65% of the way there for the 2021/22 target, so there is time for the new Fundraising Manager to settle in and embed in the organisation.

On occasion the charity also collaborates with other Westminster or other disability charities for joint bids, which the Fundraising Manager will help to coordinate.

All in all, most applications will be around £10k-£20k, although every six months or so there is usually a £100k+ bid that they aim to submit.

Since 1992, Hospices of Hope has worked across Romania and South-East Europe with a vision that all patients suffering from terminal or life-limiting illness can receive specialist hospice care and live and die with dignity and without pain. They are now a leading European hospice charity with an ambitious growth strategy.

On a mission to ensure free end-of-life hospice care is accessible whenever anyone needs it across South-East Europe, they have built partnerships across Romania and Serbia to deliver this alongside providing services directly through their partners in Moldova and Albania.

The leading hospice development charity in the region, they have cared for more than 50,000 people and delivered more than 20,000 training sessions in hospice care for thousands of healthcare professionals while raising over £20 million to support hospice care in the region.

Hospices of Hope are recognised as a Centre for Excellence by the World Health Organisation and operate teaching establishments that provide recognised courses for medical professionals. They have introduced new technologies to help patients and established networks of hospices and clinics across different countries. They provide advocacy and work with governments to assist in the development of national strategies for end-of-life care - work that is helping to achieve reforms in national health legislation and practice.

Despite this great work, many patients continue to miss out on proper end-of-life care and die in terrible pain and suffering. In Romania, a staggering 92% of people diagnosed with a terminal illness are still without the proper care and other countries in the region have no hospice services whatsoever.

Approaching their 30th anniversary in 2022, Hospices of Hope recognise they still have much work to do in support of the terminally ill in the region. To build more purpose-built hospices, train more healthcare professionals, help reform healthcare systems and provide care to some of the most disadvantaged children and adults in Europe they require more funding.

The Scottish Fundraising Executive will lead the implementation of the charity’s fundraising strategy in Scotland. They will steward existing donors and cultivate new donors in line with the strategy and growth of fundraised income across the country. They must be driven to help improve the quality of life for children and adults who need palliative and/or end of life care in the poorly resourced countries of South-East Europe.

Hospices of Hope require the new Scottish Fundraising Executive to be either an experienced Fundraising professional or from a target-driven environment and be able to evidence a track record of donor development, building strong relationships and new business experience (including achieving and exceeding targets). This role needs someone experienced and confident operating at a senior-level and can work with independence and autonomy. They should have a creative and professional approach with the strategic ability to react quickly and capitalise on opportunities. It is important that the Scottish Fundraising Executive is adaptable to different audiences, is a skilled influencer and strong in stakeholder management. They must be an excellent communicator and strong presenter.

The Air Ambulance Service has one simple objective, to save lives. Contrary to general belief, the organisation is not government funded and provides two very important functions, Helicopter Emergency Medical Services and The Children’s Air Ambulance.

To be considered for this role you should come to us with experience in fundraising and a strong ability to build and develop meaningful relationships and successful partnerships. You should be a strong and confident communicator, easily able to build on existing relationships but also develop relationship with new supporters influencing and encouraging them to fundraise for the organisation. You should be comfortable working towards targets, be driven and self-motivated, and share the team’s unrivalled passion for the cause of this wonderful charity.

This role provides an opportunity to join an organisation in an invaluable capacity that will, quite simply, raise funds that will enable more lives to be saved.
