Job Title: Corporate Partnerships Manager

Responsible To:  Director of Fundraising and Marketing

About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is a dynamic London charity that works with food suppliers and charities and schools to reduce food waste and food poverty. We were set up in 2016 by entrepreneur, Justin Byam Shaw. 

More than eight million people in the UK struggle to afford to eat every day, while our food industry generates 100,000 tonnes of edible food waste each year. 

We rescue good food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste.  This is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish.  We collect or receive food from 170 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. 

We sort and then deliver this food to charities that cook meals and prepare food parcels for vulnerable people and to primary schools to distribute to children and their families. This year we will deliver over 2,500 tonnes of food to more than 310 London frontline charities and primary schools. This is enough food to make over 6.5 million meals. 

We have 37 staff, 400 volunteers and a fleet of 20 vans.

We have 3 main operations.  Our 2 depot operations at Enfield and Park Royal and our Central London operation.  The depots are open during the day and from these we collect, sort, deliver and store surplus food using our own vans completing pre-configured routes.  Our Central London operation runs in the evening and does point to point re-distribution directly from food retailers to charities, without the need for depot storage.  The Central London operation is fully “green” and uses electric vans and walking and cycling routes to extend our reach.

Role Overview

The Corporate Partnerships Manager will develop and deliver a business plan to grow existing and new support for The Felix Project. This role will take the lead on generating new income from the business community and managing high-value, strategic partnerships. With support from our Director of Fundraising and a well-connected trustee board, and in collaboration with our current Corporate Partnerships Manager you will secure sponsorships, develop tailored pitches and win new strategic and Charity of the Year (CoTY) partnerships.  It will suit a driven fundraiser who is motivated to work in a dynamic young charity helping the most vulnerable people in London with a beautifully simple model that provides good food for good causes. Initially the role will be focused on developing support from either the Food or Financial sectors.

About Kids for Kids:

Kids for Kids is the only charity founded specifically to help children in one of the most challenging regions of the world, Darfur, Sudan.

We have provided a range of sustainable projects to over 550,000 people in 100 villages where people live at the forefront of global warming, in one of the most deprived regions of the world. Each year we expand our work by adopting more villages.

We have a small team – the CEO is the only full-time position, and is supported by a part-time assistant, who undertakes PA work and general administrative support, and a part-time book-keeper. The Darfur team consists of two paid individuals and voluntary development networks established to support their communities. We have volunteer co-ordinators in the US and in Sudan.

We’re looking for a proactive individual with community fundraising and volunteer management experience to join us as a Regional Community Fundraiser and help us maximise our local fundraising activities.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Part of our hugely successful Income Generation division, Shelter’s Community Fundraising team is a new and, currently, small team but with big plans to grow our numbers to have Regional Fundraisers in 12 cities across England and Scotland. Community Fundraising is a key part of Shelter’s long-term fundraising strategy and investment is being made available to fund it. We have recently appointed a new Head of Community Fundraising and are now seeking to expand our team of Regional Fundraisers – it’s a great time to join us.

At Shelter we are committed to tackling systematic inequalities and currently we are looking to increase the diversity within our Fundraising team. We would particularly welcome applications from anyone with a BAME background or considers themselves to have a disability.

About the role
Implementing a new community fundraising strategy in London and the surrounding areas is just one of the challenges we’ll expect you to rise to in this high profile role. Essentially, you’ll be responsible for raising the profile of the organisation and attracting new loyal and regular supporters. That means shaping and developing your geographical area and local community to establish a tangible relationship with Shelter and its work. It also means providing a high standard of stewardship to add value to current and new Shelter fundraisers and volunteers. Working in the best interests of the charity by contributing to wider fundraising teams' goals whenever possible will be important too. Put simply, you’ll do everything you can to generate more income and attract new long-term supporters. 

About you 
To succeed, you’ll need a proven relevant background, including working within community fundraising, volunteer management and a demonstrable track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets. We’ll also be looking for experience of reporting using Raisers Edge or a similar database. Customer focused, commercially aware and results-driven, you have a creative and innovative approach and will be able to start and build relationships and to effectively tell the story of why people should support Shelter’s fight to end homelessness and bad housing. What’s more, you’re not afraid to challenge the status quo and try new ideas when appropriate. Proficiency using Microsoft Office applications is also required, as is a full UK driving licence.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Brandon Centre is a registered charity that provides young people aged under 25 with access to free and confidential specialist support around their psychological, emotional, mental health and sexual health needs. We predominately work with young people in Camden, Islington and other London boroughs and our mission is to expand our network to support even more young people who we hope will truly benefit from our services.

As we embark on our next stage of development, and with an enviable reputation for the services we provide, we are now in a position to recruit an experienced Head of Fundraising and Community Engagement.

This is a new, exciting and pivotal role that will help us to develop and lead our fundraising and communications team. With your expertise in corporate and community fundraising - which are new areas of development for Brandon Centre, you will help us to develop and implement our wider fundraising and communications strategies. As part of this role you will have the opportunity to recruit and develop a team of volunteers and young ambassadors to support us and broaden our engagement and fundraising within our local communities. 

Your personal focus will be to increase Brandon Centre’s income through corporate partnerships, sponsorship and major donors. Bringing new business into Brandon Centre will be your primary focus and where you will account manage and build relationships with future partners and stakeholders.

The role will be expected to generate an income of c.£200,000 in 2021-22 through potential donors and other revenue streams. Strong pitch creation and relationship building skills are vital to develop plans for the individuals concerned and to support our CEO and Trustees in making the ask.

You will be part of an experienced and ambitious Leadership Team that also includes the Head of People & Governance and Head of Finance & Performance. Reporting directly to the CEO, there may be occasions where you will deputise in her absence.

Core responsibilities will involve:

1. Fundraising – Strategy, Communications, Grant Funding, Major Donors, Corporates (local and national) and Reporting
2. Campaigns and Communications – Branding, Media, Campaigns, Digital, Events, Strategy
3. Monitoring and Evaluation – Including marketing, communications and fundraising activities seeking continuous improvement and high return on investment

Build and maintain excellent relationships with peers in the Young People’s & charitable sectors and major funders & donors.
5. Leadership/Management of the Campaigns & Community Engagement Team – Providing clear and consistent leadership and management of the team along with some volunteers and young ambassadors. As income increases there will be further scope to develop and recruit additional community engagement and corporate partnerships portfolio

Already a key performer in the charity or not for profit sector, you will need evidence of successful corporate fundraising and multi-year partnerships of a minimum £100k value.  Experience of developing and delivering organisation-wide fundraising strategies and tactical plans, along with a proven track record of managing and exceeding fundraising targets is essential.

A proven track record of organising community and engagement events will be extremely useful complemented by a good understanding of communications strategy, particularly in relation to planning marketing campaigns based on evidence of customer insight.

This role will particularly suit an experienced Fundraising Manager looking to expand your portfolio to communications, or maybe an excellent Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser looking to take a step up in your career.  A good knowledge and understanding of equality and gender issues will be necessary.

Further details about this key role can be found on the attached Job Description and Person Specification. Brandon Centre also offers a range of options for flexible working and we would be happy to discuss these at interview stage.

If, like Brandon Centre, you have a big heart for supporting young people, we would love you to come on board and join us on our incredible journey.

“Enter The House of St Barnabas - A public-minded private members’ club in London is demolishing stereotypes” – Dazed and Confused

Our mission is to break the cycle of homelessness.

We deliver our mission through our Employment Academy, through which participants experience a holistic programme of long-term support, helping them secure good work, a good home and a good network. When this programme is in progress, participants take on work experience throughout the House, in the club spaces and in our offices. The HoSB team act as professional buddies to those in office-based roles, working closely with them to provide skills training and to set a positive example of ways of working. This one to one support throughout the programme, and our wider club community of members and supporters, provides a supportive environment in which our participants can challenge themselves to change their lives.

Underpinning our Employment Academy is our vibrant member’s club based in our grade 1 listed building, right in the heart of Soho. Our member’s club further deepens our impact by:

• Providing a network for our participants of supportive mentors, employers and friends

• Offering a training ground for those returning to work through real-world work placements in hospitality and office-based roles

• Convening creative conversations across sectors and disciplines working to break the cycle of homelessness

We fund our work through the profit we make from membership and private hire, combined and matched with fundraising.

In order for our model to work, we aim to run an outstanding private members club; bringing together a diverse community of creative people who care about social change. We want them to experience high quality food and drink, a personalised service and an engaging offer of culture and events that entertain and enlighten.

We have exciting plans for the future. We intend to create a new entry point for those already in work but who want to progress from a first job after homelessness to “good work”, with better pay, more regular hours and better prospects for promotion, and we intend to increase provision through our accommodation pathway. To do this we will need to grow our commercial income from both the club and private hire (including a potential building development project). We also want to better use the skills and connections of our community of members and supporters in pursuit of our aims.
