Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes.
We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We expect to raise £1.8m this year and are ambitious to at least triple again.
While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income.

This role will be key in sharing Pratham’s impactful work with our supporters. The core of the role is to manage digital content across email, social media, and our website, and play a vital role in supporting fundraising events, particularly our annual gala which will be held at the V&A in November this year and recruiting runners of the London Marathon.
We expect to launch a new website in 2025, a version of the new Pratham USA website that is due to roll out in mid-March. You’ll have an important role in adapting and tailoring it for Pratham UK.

About Boccia England
We are the national governing body (NGB) for boccia in England and a registered charity.
We have the responsibility to govern the sport of boccia, grow participation and benefit people’s lives, with these three things at the heart of our work.
Our work has a profound impact on improving the physical and emotional well-being of children and adults with disabilities. To see some examples of this in action please watch our videos by clicking these links Volunteering with Boccia England and Boccia Club.
We want to establish strong foundations by developing opportunities, growing our workforce, and running an effective organisation that can help improve the lives of more people, whatever their needs or backgrounds.
