About Us

• Information: We use the internet to enable us to deliver nationwide reaching millions of people at a fraction of the historical cost.  We’ve put a lot of effort into our web site and in 2022 we want to develop it further into the most comprehensive resource on ADHD in the UK.  So we’re constantly researching services for ADHD and creating new pages of helpful information as well as reaching people with Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
• Support: We’re starting 2022 with 8x the number of national online support events that we had a year ago.  We also use Facebook and WhatsApp to provide 24x7 national support groups, our Facebook groups also grew around 8x last year.  Knowing that you are not alone is an enormous comfort to our customers so we will be expanding this further in 2022.
• Research: With a strong customer base we are able to carry out our own research – current programmes include waiting times for ADHD assessments and lived experience of support services for ADHD at work plus benefits for students and unemployed.  In 2022 we plan to start funding third party research including researching the effects of late diagnosis on ADHD people’s lives.
• Advocacy: We work with employers to help them develop neurodiversity-friendly workplaces, both through our Employer Pack and through training and presentations to organisations.  In 2022 we plan to extend the Employer Pack and offer further support and training services for employers and employees, some of which are revenue generators. 
• Awareness: Use of our website grew tenfold last year and we also work with the press, e.g. we recently launched a press panel of people with lived experience of ADHD, resulting in coverage on SKY News in January 2022.  PR is an area we will be growing this year. We are also planning campaigns to drive changes from the top of government for pupils and students.

You will need experience in working with data to effectively record and extract key donor information. You will also be comfortable working with digital communication media (email, social, websites), and be able to use those effectively to deliver compelling supporter communications. HHA is a Christian charity so a good understanding of the Christian faith is desirable but not essential.

HHA has a small UK team so you will need to have the flexibility to work across multiple fundraising disciplines and have strong communication skills to work effectively with the rest of the UK team (often working remotely), but also other HHA teams and partners based in the US, Haiti and Uganda. 

Please read the attached Job Description carefully for full details of the role and the expectations. You can also contact us should you have further questions about the role. We look forward to receiving your application.

Make Seconds Count are an extraordinary charity.  They are less than 4 years old but are already raising over £1m per year to support women and men living with secondary breast cancer. Based in Scotland, they are a UK wide organisation full of amazing people – from dedicated volunteers to patient champions and the dynamic board of trustees.

Then there is the founder!

Make 2nds Count was founded by Lisa Fleming in 2017. Lisa, who was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer decided that she wanted to make a change. By setting up Make Seconds Count she has certainly done that. Her extraordinary passion, commitment and honesty were the starting point for Make Seconds Count. Four years later there is now a whole community working with her to raise both awareness and funds to support further research into secondary breast cancer and to support the patients and families affected.

Read Lisa’s story and watch the video to find out more about why Make 2nds Count was established.

This is your chance to join one of the UK’s fastest growing charities as its new Fundraising Manager following the promotion of the previous postholder to Head of Operations.  You’ll be an experienced professional fundraiser who wants to make their mark by bringing your own plans and ideas to this fast-growing charity.  If you are motivated by a blank sheet of paper – this is the role for you.

The charity are already great at events and community fundraising already, so they are looking for someone to bring skills in other forms of fundraising, such as corporate fundraising, accessing grants, trust fundraising or major gift fundraising.  You don’t need to be an expert in all of these, but you’ll understand how they all work and be keen to put them in place at Make Seconds Count.

Reporting to the Head of Operations, you’ll manage a Community and Events Fundraiser and work alongside a small team of staff, volunteers and very committed Board members. 

On offer is a competitive salary and benefits, the chance to work from home or the office (where there is a free gym membership  and free parking), a great team and the chance to really make your mark by implementing with your own fundraising plan.
