Voluntary Income in The Church of England is over £800M a year, and funds most of the church's mission and ministry. The Church of England has adopted a National Giving Strategy for 2020-2025 that will invest in different ways to encourage giving within its churches.

Summary

With the reduction in the use of cash within wider society, churches need to be equipped to take contactless donations so that people can continue to give in ways they like. More importantly, churches need to be trained in how to use contactless solutions effectively, learning and applying good practice so that as many churches as possible benefit from this investment.

As National Digital Giving Manager, you will manage the implementation of our plan to enable 50% of churches to have and use effectively contactless equipment. Currently approximately 10% of churches have some capacity for people to give contactlessly. In addition, you will be responsible for promoting and facilitating other forms of digital giving such as online, QR code, text etc. This post involves close liaison with Diocesan Giving Advisors who will deliver training at Deanery level to any church that receives the contactless equipment and play a critical role in promoting good practice in all forms of giving with parishes and benefices.

To be successful, you will need experience of delivering training and complex projects successfully and of encouraging giving in a paid or voluntary capacity. With strong analytical and data management skills and confident in the use of digital media for training and guidance, you will be comfortable communicating to all audiences with a high degree of sensitivity and discretion.

A chance to join an award-winning charity in this new role, at an exciting time as we expand our successful work. Having recently increased our staff team from two to four community organisers, we now need a communications officer to support our campaigns by increasing our online presence, capturing people's stories to demonstrate our success, and producing engaging communications for our members and supporters.​

You'll be joining a small staff team, so you'll have the opportunity to input into the strategic direction of the organisation at this crucial time in our development.  As this is a new position you'll be able to work with the lead community organiser to develop it, and take on a leading role in managing our communications.​

About LMN

Vision

A just future based on a lower demand for mining and on respect for human rights and ecological justice (including the rights of nature) where mining does take place.

Mission

We undertake research and action for human rights and environmental justice in partnership with communities resisting, or affected by, the operations of London-based or London-financed mining companies around the world. We aim to tackle impunity and hold the mining industry to account, end unethical corporate practice, and to create an alternative narrative which respects the diverse cultures and cosmologies of the people with whom we work.

Values

Frontline voices: Our work is led by the needs and concerns of the people affected by or potentially affected by the activities of mining companies. We work to strengthen their capacity to amplify their voices and to place their needs and concerns centre stage.

Solidarity: We are committed to facilitating the development and strengthening of networks of solidarity with and between people whose land, cultures, livelihoods, health and wellbeing, workplace and other rights are threatened by the activities of mining companies.

Collaboration and teamwork: We work collaboratively as part of a formal network and also as part of several dynamic and changing informal networks of NGOs, community organisations, voluntary groups, concerned individuals, and others.

Environmental Stewardship and Just Transition: We understand that we are part of nature and that we must live within the ecological limits of our planet. We seek to promote a just transition to a sustainable and fair post-extractivist society that ensures that future generations will benefit, not suffer, from the practices of our generation.

Personal and planet: We encourage everyone involved with LMN to consider their well-being and support each other, and to consider the well-being of the planet and others with whom we share it.

Respectful: We value the opinions, expertise and diversity that people bring to LMN, and treat each other with respect, dignity and common courtesy regardless of background, culture, lifestyle or position.

Empowerment: We encourage everyone involved with LMN, whether they be workers, consultants, volunteers, supporters or representatives of communities with whom we are working, to share ideas, gain skills and knowledge and to involve themselves in our decision-making processes and to feel they are part of making change happen.

Honesty and transparency: We are accountable at all levels of our work, to ensure that we are effective in our actions and open in our communications with others. We regularly evaluate our activities and welcome dialogue and constructive criticism.

With these values, we  have supported communities to say ‘no’ to mining projects and hold companies accountable, and we coordinate a network of mining justice organisations, playing an integral role in extractives campaigning.

LMN believes that the people who should have the  decisive voice with regard  to mining projects are the people  most directly impacted by them – yet their voices are often ignored. One of our most  important tasks, therefore, is to ensure that the  voices of communities resisting mining, communities seeking  justice from companies for the consequences of existing projects,  communities developing alternatives to mining, and mining workers in dispute  with companies, are heard by the boards, shareholders, investors and insurers of the companies and by members of the public in Britain.

We seek to promote and share communities’ ways of understanding the world and support their development models.
