Darren, who was living in a shed after losing a loved one, is now in stable housing and completing a course to get a role in construction. His journey is just one example of the many lives we’ve positively impacted.

About Sophie Hayes Foundation

Sophie Hayes Foundation is a small but mighty charity supporting women survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking as they rebuild their independent lives, free from re exploitation for the long-term.

We provide an employability programme which enables survivors to rediscover their skills, build their confidence and sense of purpose, develop workplace skills, and open up opportunities for work placements or volunteering. We also offer a conversational English course, a digital skills programme, and run a survivor network CREW (Creative Resilient Empowered Women).

We do all we can to meet survivors where they are in a complex system, flexing and adapting to need as it arises. We also do not accept a system which fails survivors, leaving them at risk of re-exploitation, and engage in policy and advocacy campaigns based on our lived and learnt experience.

In the words of our participants, “The Programme changed my life’s trajectory. We explored our purpose and discussed the idea of work and career as a central part. Sophie Hayes Foundation should not underestimate how much it plays a big role in people's lives.”

About the Role

We can’t do any of this work without brilliant and concerted fundraising efforts. SHF is independent and relies on funds from grant-making bodies, individuals, and businesses in our supporter community.

This role will be at the forefront of the realisation of SHF’s bold strategic ambitions. You will work alongside our small and dynamic executive team to unlock growth, develop new approaches and communicate our impact.

You will build a lead small, effective and positive fundraising and communications team.

You will develop deep and meaningful relationships with the individuals and organisations while support SHF’s work – and new supporters we have not met yet.

You will be hands on, getting stuck into grant applications, prospecting, communicating, and developing new engagement programmes.

We know small charity fundraising is no mean feat – you will get all the support and engagement you need from the SHF team and Board to do you very best work, in a hugely meaningful context.

You will have the opportunity to get involved in any and all parts of the organisation’s work, including policy advocacy, lived and learnt experience co-design, research and service delivery.

If you are an energetic, positive, collaborative and experienced fundraiser, we can’t wait to hear from you! You can find out more about the mission and values of Sophie Hayes Foundation our website:

Operating in more than 30 countries, Operation Smile raises around $100m globally each year.

• Experience in major donor fundraising with a track record of securing five-figure+ gifts from HNWIs
• Experience managing the full lifecycle of major donor fundraising, from prospecting and cultivation through to solicitation and stewardship
• Strong prospect research and pipeline development skills, including identifying and developing new donor relationships from cold
• Experience and confidence in building rapport and trust with prospective major donors
• Experience engaging trustees, senior volunteers and colleagues in fundraising and leveraging networks for peer-to-peer introductions
• Confidence and credibility when representing an organisation to HNWIs and senior stakeholders
• Strong relationship-building and influencing skills, with the ability to champion major donor fundraising in a collaborative and thoughtful way across the organisation
• A proactive, self-starting approach and the ability to identify and develop opportunities within a growing fundraising programme

Desirable:

• Experience in international development or global health fundraising
• Experience helping to develop a major donor programme from a low base or early stage

We are open to receiving applications from early career major donor fundraisers for this role.

About Together Active

Together Active is a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make movement possible for everyone - especially where poverty, discrimination and poor health have made it most difficult. They don't run activities directly; instead, they work across systems, bringing people together, strengthening capacity, amplifying lived experience and ultimately influencing decision-makers.

About the Role

This is a strategic, relationship-led fundraising role where your work will directly strengthen organisational independence. It's all about diversifying income streams and helping to futureproof for a resilient, sustainable the long-term.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the blank canvas. You'll be building largely from scratch across trusts, corporates and individuals, with a clear and realistic remit for diversification. Together Active understands this won't happen overnight and you'll be given freedom and autonomy to do things your own way, with a rewarding mix of strategic thinking and operational, hands-on delivery.

Your first priority will be to craft a compelling case for support, before mapping the funding landscape, shaping a strategy and then engaging new funders in Together Active's long-term vision.

We'd absolutely love to hear from you if you bring:

• Experience building relationships with funders, partners or collaborators from scratch
• Comfortable and capable working across multiple stakeholders, priorities and systems
• Ability to translate complex or systems-based work into clear, credible fundraising narratives
• Strategic thinking, but also enjoy rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in
• Strong judgement about how and when to pursue an opportunity and make the ask
• Collaborative, curious mindset and a strong commitment to social justice

You'll be working across multiple income streams as the organisation's sole fundraiser, but there is significant growth and development potential down the line.

Experience in trusts/foundations, corporate partnerships, philanthropy or community organising are all relevant and welcome - no single background is necessarily 'the right one', so please don't rule yourself out without a conversation.

How Together Active Values You

• 27.5 days annual leave + bank holidays (rising with service)
• Three additional leave days over Christmas
• Up to 8% employer pension contribution
• Cycle to work scheme
• Health plan subscription
• Counselling access
• Volunteer day
• Annual CPD allowance + extensive online learning resources
• Flexible, trust-based working
• A culture where curiosity, challenge and care are genuinely welcomed

Our Organisation 

Sydenham Garden, based in Lewisham in South-East London, is a special, unique and beloved wellbeing centre utilising its gardens, nature reserve and activity rooms to help people living with and recovering from mental and physical ill-health. We were established in 2002 and will celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2027. We provide nature and arts based creative, social and therapeutic activities for co-workers (the name we give our primary beneficiaries). People are referred to us from community organisations and health professionals and we use an integrative approach where those with different degrees of mental and physical ill health come together with volunteers from the local community to reduce social exclusion and prejudice. Each year we work with on average over 250 co-workers and over 70 volunteers. 

About you 

You’ll have experience in building relationships with a range of Trusts, Foundations and statutory funders, drafting compelling funding proposals and demonstrating impact through high-quality reports. You’ll have excellent communication and people skills and feel comfortable both thinking strategically and managing competing priorities day-to-day. Most importantly, you’ll thrive in a small team working to make a big impact for people living with mental ill-health and dementia. 

Why you should join us  

Sydenham Garden is a small team rooted in our local community, and that community is at the centre of everything we do; from the people we support, to the volunteers and neighbours who get involved in our gardens and our work in all sorts of ways. 

We work collaboratively, support each other across different areas of the organisation, and aren't afraid to try new approaches and learn from what doesn't work. We're values-led, we care deeply about our impact, and we hold ourselves accountable to the people and communities we serve. 

We're also confident advocates for our work, and comfortable making the case for Sydenham Garden to funders, partners and the wider community. 

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

Sydenham Garden is committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). We want to build a diverse and inclusive staff, volunteer and trustee team where everyone feels that they belong and that reflects the profile of the communities we serve. Therefore, we will welcome and consider applications from candidates of all backgrounds and protected characteristics, and we particularly encourage applications from people of African or Caribbean heritage to ensure our staff team represents the communities we serve.
