- Maintain key relationships with mosque and school partners to preserve goodwill and support transitional planning.
Team Leadership
- Line manage the Fundraising & Events Manager, providing coaching, strategic direction, and performance support.
- Ensure the team structure remains fit for purpose as event formats, income goals, and capacity evolve.
