This is a new role and is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Individual Giving fundraiser to have a significant impact on the lives of our current and future pupils. The Yehudi Menuhin School operates a needs-blind admissions process, and we remain determined that no pupil should ever turn down a place at YMS due to a lack of funding. More than 90% of pupils need help to take up their place, and individual donors play a key role in providing support to the School’s Bursary Fund, as well as funding core costs and projects that have a direct impact on our pupils.

The School has a loyal body of supporters and runs a membership scheme (The Friends of YMS), and a mid-level giving programme (The Menuhin Circle). The School has historically benefited from significant legacies and has established The 1963 Society to provide a framework for recognising and engaging with donors who have notified us of their intent to leave us a gift in their will.
