FareShare

Job Description –Senior Trusts and Grants Manager

Reporting to: Head of Fundraising

Location: Hybrid / Office Based

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 35 Hours

Salary: £45,000 - £50,000

About FareShare

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 10,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2021, we redistributed 127 million meals, the equivalent of 4 meals every second through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues.

As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value.

At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.

The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide.

It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.

To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve

unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our

fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we

need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale. There has never been a more

exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.

By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from Donors, Corporate Food and Fundraising Partners, Foundations and Volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food

to support the UK’s most vulnerable.

FareShare’s Strategy & Vision
 

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

Our Values: Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead

Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen

Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries

Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger

Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and

achieve the most for our clients/customers.

Location: Bangkok, Thailand.

Salary: For more details on ICRC salary scales click here.

Reports to: Partnerships Development Manager (Asia Pacific).

Job Level: C1

Hardship: H0 – full family posting (after six months of seniority of direct employment with ICRC)

Contract Type: Full time 4-year assignment with possibility to renew.

What we do

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral, and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC responds to humanitarian needs worldwide through its network of delegations and as part of the wider International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement).

In the context of growing humanitarian needs, the ICRC launched its Resource Mobilization Strategy 2020-2030 to guide fundraising efforts over the course of the next decade. This strategy is underpinned by the Movement-wide Principles for Resource Mobilization, adopted at the 2017 Council of Delegates, which articulate a vision in which resource mobilization within the Movement becomes more than the sum of individual efforts by different Movement components. Fundraising efforts at the ICRC are geared towards making this vision a reality, adopting a central guiding principle that ‘what is good for the Movement, is good for the ICRC’. The ICRC is committed to working together with Movement components (National Societies and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent) to maximize our collective potential.

The Strategy Implementation Plan (SIP) process will guide this evolution to deliver increasing income for ICRC and the other Movement components with which it actively collaborates on private sector engagement. In support of this, ICRC is establishing a private sector engagement (PSE) team for Asia-Pacific, primarily based in Bangkok. Asia-Pacific presents significant potential as home to some of the fastest growing economies globally, as well as global and local trends in philanthropy. This role together with other posts to support foundation and corporate philanthropy, fundraising content development and Movement fundraising collaboration will be central in ensuring that our Movement secures the resources it needs to continue to alleviate human suffering around the world.

Purpose

As part of the Resource Mobilization Division (REM) and within a regional team based in Bangkok, this role will have responsibility for helping to progressively increase ICRC and other Movement income from the private sector through the development of strong philanthropic collaborations, with a focus on major gifts from individual supporters and where relevant, family supporters, including ultra- and high net worth individuals, ensuring that targets are met. The role will harness ICRC’s assets and work together with National Societies and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) as necessary to present the Movement’s comparative advantages within a crowded philanthropy landscape.

Investing in engagement in Asia-Pacific is a prototype, testing and leading the way for resource mobilization efforts in other regions. Accordingly, this role requires flexibility and agility, working collaboratively and effectively within the ICRC and beyond to develop positive, productive relationships, through which to deliver experiences, which enhance and recognize supporter relationships. In doing so, the post-holder will help achieve collective income targets.

This role will work closely with colleagues across the Movement in Asia-Pacific. Your approach should be collaborative, characterized by thoughtful action and decision-making, empathy, discretion, and tact.

Context

By end 2022, the ICRC private sector engagement team in Bangkok will expand to 5. This team has successfully stewarded high value gifts from across the Asia Pacific region and contributed to innovative

ways of working together with National Societies and the IFRC to increase resourcing for the Movement as a whole. You will join a team of fundraising experts at the beginning of an exciting journey in private

sector engagement and have the unique opportunity to contribute to and shape the team’s vision and the growth of private sector engagement within the world’s largest humanitarian network.

We are keen to enhance our profile by supporting individual and corporate organisations at a national level through our charity of the year programme. We also wish to grow our supporter base through challenge event participation by enhancing the supporter journey and maximising income.

As Corporate Fundraiser you will develop and promote new opportunities for our corporate supporters through networking events. Maintain existing corporate relationships and develop new opportunities through development of our Corporate Partnership Programme. Maximising the income and achieve targets while keeping within an expenditure budget. You will work collaboratively with the rest of the Fundraising Team to maximise opportunities.

Hours:                           5 days per month (with capacity for the role to grow)
Duration of Contract: 6 months (initially)

St Germain’s Emotional Wellbeing Service (EWS) has grown from an initial offer to our local community during the Covid-19 pandemic, into an established mental health service offering support to people across Birmingham.  We are looking to appoint a Strategic Fundraiser to help us develop the service further and ensure its sustainability. The EWS will transition later in 2022 to become an independent CIO, and there is capacity for the scope and duration of this role to grow with the organisation.  The successful candidate will be willing to work flexibly to achieve the desired outcomes within the allocated time.

The EWS was established in May 2020 to equip people to better manage mental health issues, particularly those caused by or exacerbated by Covid-19. This free service has fast become one of main referral points for GP-based social prescribers in Birmingham. We have supported people at their time of need, whilst waiting lists for secondary services have been at record highs. To date the EWS has conducted more than 1000 support sessions, supporting more than 400 service users. Our Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing dataset for 2021 showed that more than 85% of service users who completed a course of one-to-one support experienced a statistically significant improvement in their mental wellbeing.

Although currently a sub-committee of St Germain’s Church the EWS is transitioning to independent CIO status.  This role is key to shaping the EWS and enabling it to become a robust independent provider of this essential service.
