Alongside helping shape how the team operates, you will lead and grow major donor fundraising, building relationships with high-value supporters, owning a portfolio, and playing a central role in securing significant gifts.
About the Organisation
The charity was founded by Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, and works to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life changing.
