Check my CVAs a charity, we are hugely proud of the impact we have had on behalf of people affected by blood cancer. The £500million we have invested in research over the last 60 years has saved many thousands of lives, and we are now in a position where the day we will beat blood cancer is finally in sight. But with the coronavirus crisis already having had a big impact on our income, it is more vital than ever that we have the strong strategic leadership to keep our mission to beat blood cancer on course.
The single biggest factor holding back our mission is that we don’t raise enough money. We already have a team of fantastic fundraisers who are expert in their area and dedicated to the cause. What they need is a leader who can provide them with the vision and sense of ambition to enable them to make our income levels increase more quickly than most people reading would think is possible.
We know achieving this will be really hard, and you’ll need to be someone genuinely exceptional to achieve it. But if you’re that person, you’ll be coming to a charity where the whole organisation is focused on fundraising, from Board to the support-line team, from Chief Executive to research grants committee and where we’ll be alongside you, doing everything we possibly can to help you succeed. The rewards for getting there will be immense. This is a real chance to change the lives of people with blood cancer forever, and to lead a fundraising team to transformational growth and so establish yourself as one of the leading fundraisers in the UK.
We're passionate about doing more to increase the diversity of the Blood Cancer UK team, we can’t be there for the community we serve unless we are a better reflection of it, so we’d particularly welcome applications from people of colour for this critical role. If this is the sort of challenge that makes you feel excited rather than daunted, come and join us and together we can change the world for people affected by blood cancer.
You will strategically lead and inspire the Fundraising Department to deliver and grow a multi-million pound portfolio of events campaigns and external communications, to generate the money we need to fund the vital research that brings us closer to beating blood cancer and improving lives of people affected by blood cancer.
More specifically the purpose of the job is:
1. Strategic fundraising leadership to increase income.
2. Working as part of the Executive team, develop and guide the strategic direction of Blood Cancer UK, ensuring we achieve our organisational goals and performance targets.
Our leaders need to be inspirational, bringing enthusiasm, energy and conviction – to lead by doing, not just saying. With a ‘can do’ attitude and collaborative management approach, our leaders engage their teams and make their work fun as well as rewarding.
We are Blood Cancer UK, and we want to change the world for all blood cancer patients. Every year we stop more people dying of blood cancer and... Read more

About Newlife
At Newlife we believe that disabled children should get the better future they deserve.

SUPPORT, INFORM, EMPOWER
Three key words that sum up the Salvesen Mindroom Centre.
For nearly twenty years, Salvesen Mindroom Centre has been making a huge difference to the lives of children, young people and their families living with learning difficulties. Over that time, it has built strong foundations and gained a trusted reputation for its knowledge and expertise. But being founded by a Swede married to a Scot the charity likes to think it does things a little bit differently. A mix of Nordic cool and Scottish practicality!
Its goal is to become a world-leading centre bringing practical help, research and education together to address the impact of learning difficulties. Thanks to a generous donation from Alastair and Elizabeth Salvesen, its journey has been an incredible period of transformation.
Every year, the charity’s highly skilled advice and outreach team work with hundreds of families across Scotland and numbers are increasing annually. Its helpline is open five days a week, with expert advisers available to help those whose lives have been impacted by learning difficulties, providing the emotional support and the right information. For those who require more direct support, its highly experienced outreach team work throughout Scotland, engaging with both the families and the professionals in schools, social work, justice and health to ensure that we really are getting it right for every child.
The charity aims to empower families to take back control of their own situation and move forward. In the last twelve months it has introduced two excellent new services that work directly with young people – helping their voices to be heard above a very complex and challenging landscape.
By working across Education, Health, Social Work, Justice and private organisations, the charity also empowers professionals by giving them the information and the tools they need so that they feel confident in supporting young people with learning difficulties. Just as an example, the General Teaching Council for Scotland commends its guidance to tens of thousands of registered teachers.
Research has always been central to its vision for a world-leading centre of excellence. Learning difficulties know no boundaries and the charity’s work is complemented by the Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre (SMRC) based at the University of Edinburgh. The SMRC team is taking forward research that offers the prospect of improving the lives of those living with learning difficulties worldwide. This unique partnership brings outreach expertise and research together, making the experience of families central to this work and, in return, empowering them through knowledge of best practice.
Salvesen Mindroom Centre’s journey has been extraordinary. And this is only the start.
The charity is now looking to diversify its fundraising and create a strategy that works for them. Nearly three-quarters of its funding comes from an individual source, and its objective is to reduce that below 50%. While there is time to make these changes, the charity needs someone well-respected in the fundraising sector with the right creativity and experience to lead it on this journey.
It is specifically looking for a strategic thinker who has extremely well-developed skills across the board but particularly in major donor and corporate fundraising. This role will work directly with the Chief Executive as part of the small management team and with a close relationship to the Board. The Director of Fundraising must be an individual who will command respect from both internal and external stakeholders, giving strategic leadership and taking responsibility for delivering results.
This is the role for someone whose energy, drive and capacity for engagement will develop and sustain new relationships with major supporters and inspire the charity’s small, but very capable fundraising team.
If you believe that everyone has the right to achieve their potential, and if you have the skills, experience and passion to take Salvesen Mindroom Centre on the next stage of its exciting journey, then we would like to hear from you.

Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome that isolation, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.
The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that homelessness, exclusion and isolation are not acceptable features of life in the UK.
The Connection at St. Martin’s empowers those who are on the edges of society to take control of their lives by:

If you have a way with words, want to make a real impact through your work and are looking to join a fundraising team with lots of potential, then our Trusts Fundraising Officer role might be the job for you.
At the Youth Adventure Trust, we use outdoor adventure to empower vulnerable young people from Swindon and Wiltshire to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future. We work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime, helping them to face the challenges in their lives. Our programme is completely free to the young people and the fundraising team is instrumental in ensuring this remains the case.
Trusts and Foundations provide an important income stream for the charity and as we plan for the future, post-Covid, we need to expand our Trust fundraising portfolio. Working closely with the Trusts Fundraising Manager, you will play a key role in identifying new opportunities, writing engaging funding applications and stewarding our funders to keep them up to date with our work and committed to our programme.
You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills and should have some experience of writing effective trust applications or funding proposals. You must be self-motivated, well organised, have a good eye for detail and a thorough approach to your work. Paid or voluntary experience in a fundraising environment is essential, as is a demonstrable understanding of the value in getting vulnerable young people outdoors. You will be working from home but will need to be within driving distance of Swindon and Wiltshire for occasional visits to funders or to attend stewardship events.
This is a great opportunity for somebody looking to take the next step in their career, with plenty of scope to develop your skills and experience within a supportive team.
The Youth Adventure Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all employees to share this commitment. The suitability of all prospective employees will be assessed during the recruitment process in line with this commitment.
Please see our Job Pack for the full job description and person specification. We will only consider applications with a completed application form.
