About Norwood
Norwood is the largest Jewish charity in the UK supporting vulnerable children and their families, children with special educational needs and people with learning disabilities and autism. We were founded in 1795.
The projects you’ll most likely be fundraising for are:
Adult residential care for people with learning disabilities – we have 17 homes around London, as well as a residential village, Ravenswood in Berkshire, where we have another 19. Because the basics are funded by the local authority, we mostly fundraise for capital development for these, ranging from a new, accessible bathroom, to a whole new building.
Children and family services for children with learning disabilities: support groups for parents of children with special needs, speech therapy, occupational therapy, educational psychology, specialist teaching. Short-breaks, including overnight, Sunday clubs and holiday camps for children with learning challenges and disabilities. Social work, and family support teams.
What you will do as the Trust Fundraising Officer at Norwood
Trusts research – working alongside the Prospect Research Volunteer to identify opportunities. We have been around a long time, so a lot of this is working through the trusts on our database, as well as regular projects for example to look at the funders of similar charities, work through an online trusts database, and keep up to date with email alerts.
Trust applications – you will gather project information, curate it, and write it up into informative, engaging, beautiful applications, giving trusts the opportunity to fund our work. Your work will focus on bids of up to £5,000.
Trust relationships – you will build relationships through face-to-face meetings, service visits, calls, emails, letters, thanking etc. We’re a much-loved community organisation, and you’ll be the face of it for the trusts that you manage.
Reporting – you’ll gather the information, photos and stories to compile reports that give funders real insight into what they’ve achieved.
Organisational knowledge – develop and maintain your knowledge of Norwood services and build relationships with service managers, the ‘boots on the ground’, who you’ll need to give you up-to-date information.
Support the rest of the team – to gain experience, you’ll support other members of the team in their work, whether that’s gathering information for an application, proof-reading a report, or helping with a service visit. In particular, you’ll support on bids over £5,000 to prepare you for either promotion or your next role.
Building and maintaining team processes – we all help with this, whether it’s improving our Raiser’s Edge dashboard, taking minutes at the team meeting, or creating a new template to help project staff with case study gathering. This project work adds variety, and we’re always open to new ideas.

Strong research skills
Proficiency in using Word, Excel, Outlook and video calling, e.g. scheduling a meeting, holding a Zoom/Teams meeting
