Some previous experience of working with the media to recognise and demonstrate how our partners make a real difference would be welcome.

In return for your hard work and impressive results, we commit to actively developing you and our benefits include private medical insurance, life assurance, pension, generous leave, and interest free loans for season tickets and gym membership.

Background Information 

We’ve been helping older people in Exetermake the most of life for over 30 years

Come and join us!

We’re looking for a Community & Corporate Fundraising Manager with the qualities and skills to take our community fundraising to the next level. In the last financial year we achieved nearly £50,000 in donations and over £77,000 from fundraising activities from a total income of nearly £1.5m. Of the fourteen different services we provide, three are free to the public and are therefore reliant on fundraising income survive and prosper. These are our Befriending services that link people together, our Dementia Carers Support project that provides practical and emotional support to over 120 carers of people living with dementia and our Information and Advice service which each year responds to around 2,500 enquiries and helps older people in Exeter gain an additional £1.1m in unclaimed benefits.

We need your energy, skills and resourcefulness to unlock the funds that can secure these services and also make a valuable contribution to the core costs of the charity. By building on our supporter base of 1,000+ local people, many local businesses and our great reputation in the city, you will let people know the importance and value of what we do, engaging public support to realise our vision of a city where every older person is able to get the most out of life, whatever their circumstances. Our focus is on building community, civic and business support to raise funds for us, growing the number of regular donors who want to support the charity and creating successful events. We use Blackbaud eTapestry donor management software to maximise our effectiveness and ensure we respond to our donors appropriately.

Here’s the back story

Age UK Exeter is a local, independent charity and part of a national network of 130 Age UKs across England. We have grown a strong reputation for putting the individual older person at the heart of all we do and now provide support and opportunities to over a thousand older people in the city each week. We achieve this through our 110 dedicated staff and over 300 fantastic volunteers who give their time and skills so generously for the benefit of others.

We’re an independent charity with our own locally elected Board of Trustees, responsible for our own funding and governance and part of the national Age UK network. We have our main centre and offices in Cowick Street, St Thomas, a further large centre in Mount Pleasant and provide community services right across the city.

A lot of what we do is about combating the loneliness and isolation that still faces so many older people in Exeter. Of the 20,000 older people in the city, over 7,000 live alone and a survey we conducted a little while ago showed that nearly a third of local people aged over 80 said they felt lonely most or all of the time.

Because we know everyone is different, we work hard to offer a wide range of opportunities for people to come together in ways that suit them. This could be anything from one to one befriending and telephone support to special interest groups, weekly social groups or a ‘Men in Sheds’ workshop where older men come together to refurbish old tools and gardening equipment for sale to the public.

We also support people with more complex health and social care needs through our Day Care clubs, Enabling, Home from Hospital, Dementia Carers Support and Wellbeing Exeter services. In addition to these we provide a comprehensive Information and Advice service that helps older people and their families navigate an increasingly complex world, claim the benefits to which they’re entitled and plan ahead for the future.

How We Make a Difference

In 2018/19 we provided the following:

• Information and Advice – responded to over 3,000 enquiries for help
• Benefits take-up – helped local older people gain an additional £1.1m in benefits
• Day services for older people with complex needs – 10,000 attendances
• Café offering good value, freshly cooked meals – 12,500 meals served
• Activity groups - Tai Chi, exercise, choir, computer training – 9,000 sessions
• Wellbeing and social inclusion – 200 older people supported
• Support for carers of people with dementia –  over 120 families supported
• Home from Hospital – 818 people supported at the RD&E
• Enabling & Home Help service –  over 24,000 hours of support to 250 individuals
• Volunteer visiting for older people who live alone – 2,500 visits
• Telephone contact-line for people living alone – 4,500 calls
• Men in Sheds refurbishing donated tools and garden implements – 60 men involved, raising nearly £60,000 in sales through our shop in Paris Street
• Drop-in social groups  – over 50 attendances per week
• We received 30,000 phone calls to our office
• And 11,000 visitors to our reception
• And we’re just completing a three year research project with the University of Exeter and the Open University looking at how older people’s formal and informal support networks can be enhanced and strengthened through the use of technology.

We need to realise nearly £1.5m every year to maintain all that we do and this is achieved by a mixture of fundraising and donations (9%), contracts with Devon County Council and the RD&E Hospital Trust (32%), fees (35%), grants (14%) legacies and our Men in Sheds social enterprise and shop (4%).

Armagh Robinson Library is the oldest publicly-accessible library in Northern Ireland, a registered Visitor Attraction and an Accredited Museum in the heart of Armagh City.

Every day in the UK, 34 young adults are diagnosed with cancer and can face a journey fraught with uncertainty and fear. Trekstock exist to help young adults thrive with, through and beyond a diagnosis of cancer, ensuring that no young adult in the UK faces the disease alone. They deliver physical, practical and social support programmes tailored to the needs of young adults, to give them a better chance of living well through, and beyond cancer.

Whilst small (the current full team is 7, including the office dog, Serge, who is a vital member of the team), they have a growing supporter base, which requires a passionate, energetic and dedicated High Value Fundraising Officer to join the growing team. In the last financial year (18/19) they increased fundraising by 40%, ending the year with a total of c. £450k meaning this financial year’s target currently stands at £500k, which they are well on the way to achieving (year end, May).

This is a hybrid role, working across, in the main Trust and Corporate fundraising, supporting the Head of Fundraising in creating and building a vibrant philanthropic programme. The Head of Fundraising is an exceptional fundraiser, who is helping Trekstock to upscale their offering and the successful candidate will be joining at a time of growth with the recent appointment of a community fundraising officer and communications officer. The board of Trustees is highly engaged and willing to open their contact books providing unrivalled exposure and opportunity for young fundraisers.

Currently, funding is weighted towards community (c.£200k), but the successful applicant will play a key part in re-focusing high value income with a potential team target of c.£280k with an even split between trust and corporate work. Fantastic relationships have already been built with some key foundations and the successful candidate will be expected to manage, grow and replicate these with the ongoing support of the Chief Executive and Head of Fundraising.

Trekstock need a High Value Fundraising Officer to:

• Push the current prospect research, trust and corporate function from ‘desk research’ towards re-engagement, engagement and results

• Work towards a personal target to be decided on appointment, engaging funders (trusts and corporate bodies), who give up to £10,000 • Work with the Head of Fundraising, Chief Executive and Community Fundraiser to drive the strategic engagement of new funders

• Work with the Community and Communications Officers as well as the Service lead to help evolve and grow the project portfolio, with a specific view to capitalising on regional opportunities and small corporate contacts

• Work comfortably across all areas of fundraising, rolling up their sleeves and helping other teams as well as taking on the administrative tasks associated with a small charity

• Support the Head of Fundraising and Chief Executive to deliver a separate, capital project (up to £75k), by delivering bespoke cases for support and other fundraising collateral

The position would best suit:

• A passionate fundraiser, looking to take the next step in the career, learning from a strong, dedicated group of fundraisers, across multiple income streams

• An excellent relationship builder, motivated by maintaining strong links with a small established portfolio of donors as well as generating new income by engaging new funders (a 50:50 split towards portfolio management and new business)

• An exceptional writer with a keen eye for detail

• Someone with experience using database software

• Someone who works well under pressure and in a small team – relishing the opportunity to gain experience in a fast paced, flat structured environment

Deadline for applications is 21st February with interviews 27/28th Feb
