About Us

Help Musicians is a charity that loves music and for 100 years has been working hard to make a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians across the UK. We want to create a world where musicians thrive.

A musicians’ life can be precarious with ups and downs throughout a career. Opportunities must be hard-won, whilst challenges come along all too easily, with unsteady income and physical and mental health concerns common issues to navigate. In addition, training can take many years and, along with investing in instruments and other equipment, puts up financial barriers to creative progression. Help Musicians offers a broad range of help to support music creators in times of crisis and opportunity - ensuring musicians across the UK can achieve their creative potential and sustain a career in music.

Sadly, the impact of the pandemic means the charity is needed more than ever in 2021, its centenary year. Last year we were able to provide financial hardship support to over 19,000 music creators and increase access to our mental health services by 40%. In 2021, this ongoing need will continue at scale while the music sector recovers and rebuilds.

ABOUT LAUNCHPAD

Based in central Reading, Launchpad provides vital information and support for vulnerable individuals, couples and families in Reading who do not have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their home.  Founded as a soup kitchen in 1979 by students at the University of Reading, the charity now provides a holistic service that works in three ways – we prevent homelessness, provide homes and rebuild lives.

Launchpad has remained open throughout the pandemic, our teams working tirelessly to ensure extremely vulnerable people in Reading continue to receive the help they desperately need.  But this work won’t stop when the lockdown eases – we anticipate there will be even more people in housing crisis because of issues such as evictions, redundancy and mental health.

You will support the Fundraising Manager by helping to plan and deliver Launchpad's major annual fundraising events, and support the implementation of the community and corporate fundraising strategies.  You will lead on the generation of income with a particular focus on community, corporate and volunteer fundraising to support current and new projects.  You are a strong communicator who can engage effectively with different audiences to generate long-term support for Launchpad.  Using these skills, you will increase awareness of our work in the local community and with local businesses and develop those relationships to keep them productive and mutually beneficial.

You have a proven track record in event management, combined with experience and knowledge of using a CRM system, preferably gained in the not for profit sector.  Your excellent attention to detail and strong administrative skills coupled with your ability to prioritise and manage a varied workload whilst meeting deadlines make you an ideal candidate.
