SarcoidosisUK is a successful small, high-growth charity that is looking for someone to lead its marketing and fundraising functions. We’ve been growing at between 30 and 50% a year for the last five years and need someone to help continue our growth.

Sarcoidosis is a rare disease. That means we have a small but passionate audience who care deeply about the work we do. Your role is to build relationships with people, either personally or through smart systems and strategies, with the aim of converting a one-off fundraiser into a regular fundraiser, converting a single donation to us being a “favourite charity”. It is about taking each interaction someone has with us and using it to build that relationship that makes us special to them.

Sarcoidosis’s rarity means it has been ignored; however, it impacts around 1 million people worldwide, so a cure is desperately needed. The disease predominately impacts the lungs but can also affect the nerves, skin, heart and joints. For 30% it becomes chronic. Patients with sarcoidosis in two or more organs have a 40% mortality rate.

Currently there isn’t even a treatment – doctors can solely provide medicine for the symptoms. They can do nothing to stop the disease. We’re here to change that by funding ground-breaking research subject to successful marketing and fundraising.

Each piece of research gets us closer to a cure. We’re going to keep going until we have a cure for everyone. Until then we provide support and information to those affected.

The Role

This is an eclectic role that suits someone who enjoys the challenge of multiple projects, of a wide variety, and of rising to the opportunity of learning new skills to achieve their goals.

• Your role would include managing:
  • Fundraising direct marketing and e-campaigns to all donors.
  • Monthly membership letters.
  • Campaigns to clinicians.
  • Our $100,000 google AdWords account - writing all adverts, managing keyword campaigns and measuring output.
  • Managing our Facebook advertising campaigns.
  • Event/ Fundraiser Event support – identifying and managing event places, providing assistance for volunteer fundraisers, creating custom named t-shirts, creating and sending out fundraising packs.
  • Managing our online shop.
  • Building relationships with those affected and major donors (via direct marketing, online and phone).
  • Identifying, applying to, and managing relationships with grant giving organisations.
  • Managing and writing the fundraising pages of the website.
  • Managing our database of donors and contacts.
  • Writing and distributing press releases.
  • Collating monthly statistics, creating a presentation and presenting to the board of trustees.
  • You will be participating in trustee meetings and therefore have a high-level understanding of the charity. You will have the opportunity to participate in the conversation to present your views & opinions on almost all aspects of running the charity.

Are you a talented trust fundraiser that truly loves dogs? Then this could be the perfect job for you! 

Dogs Trust is looking to appoint two outstanding Trust and Foundations Team Managers to expand and increase trust and foundation donations to Dogs Trust and Dogs Trust Worldwide.

These two exciting additions have been created to further enhance the success of the charity’s high-performing Trust and Foundations Team and will be responsible for developing strong and enduring relationships with trusts and foundations either in the UK or overseas, with a focus on raising six-figure and multi-year gifts.

Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction. As the largest dog-welfare organisation in the UK, we rehabilitate and rehome over 14,000 stray and abandoned dogs a year at our 21 rehoming centres. Dogs Trust Worldwide is an affiliate charity to Dogs Trust whose aim is to improve the welfare of dogs around the world and protect them from maltreatment, cruelty and suffering.

Based in London and reporting to the Head of Trusts and Foundations, these roles are an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on trust and foundation income at Dogs Trust and Dogs Trust Worldwide. Each Manager will have responsibility for leading a team of (currently) two Trust Officers. One team will have an emphasis on raising funds for Dogs Trust Worldwide (and Dogs Trust to some degree), while the other team will raise funds solely for Dogs Trust. 

Successful candidates will be outstanding communicators and have extensive knowledge and experience of trust fundraising. They will be adept at building enduring and fruitful relationships both with staff internally, and externally with trustees, trust correspondents and other key contacts.

Alongside these new Manager roles, we are currently recruiting two existing Trust and Foundation Officer posts (one of which is a maternity cover role). As a result, the successful candidate(s) may be line managing one or more new team members. Both appointees will be experienced managers and must also, therefore, be used to building rapport and providing supportive team management for a team member who may also be settling into their new role. Ideally for the Manager role that will mainly be securing funds for Dogs Trust Worldwide, you will have a highly successful track-record of trust fundraising for international projects.

The people who work for us bring ambition, passion and a determination to succeed in all they do, coupled with warmth, integrity and a sense of fun. The person we are looking for will combine a genuine love for dogs and their welfare with a professional, ambitious and can-do attitude – they will be far sighted and get the job done in a collaborative and engaging way. 

We also have a comprehensive benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave and contributions for pensions. If you are a hugely talented trust fundraising Manager, passionate about dog welfare and looking for an ambitious career move, then we’re keen to hear from you. 

These posts will be based in Dogs Trust London Office. (Initially there will be flexibility around location of work including working from home; interim flexible arrangements will be discussed at interview stage)

First interviews will be held in the week commencing 30th August.

This new and exciting role at MRG has been created to incorporate individual giving fundraising into MRG’s fundraising strategy. By ‘individual giving’ we mean digital fundraising (through appeals and platforms), potentially direct mail (acquisition and retention) and possibly legacy work and high-value fundraising from corporate partners and major donors.

This is a unique opportunity to develop and drive digital income through platforms and channels, embedding digital skills across our fundraising function, as well as using meaningful data and insights to drive positive change across digital fundraising activities.

As a strong digital all-rounder, you must have hands-on experience in a wide range of digital marketing channels and platforms, as well as the ability to translate stats into meaningful insights to influence change and drive action.

You will contribute to the design and delivery of a donor acquisition and retention programme, helping us understand and attract new, committed supporters who are inspired by our work. You will work to develop individual supporter journeys and donor retention.

You will lead on implementing individual giving campaigns including appeals launched by the organization or responding to external opportunities such as the BBC R4 appeal or Giving Tuesday. NB: MRG will be broadcasting a BBC R4 appeal at the end of October 2020 which you will help to prepare and maximize.

You will contribute to the development of the organization’s high value fundraising efforts targeting potential corporate and major donors.

Last but not least, you will develop a legacy strategy for the organization.

The role will work across the Communication and Fundraising teams to utilize audience insight (especially social media followers) and evaluate activity to grow income and engagement. This will involve project managing cross-organization campaigns across several channels to deliver against targets and objectives.

As an accomplished communicator, you will be able to write engaging content for a wide variety of donors and through different channels, ensuring that they feel personally connected to us. You will also ensure effective response handling and excellent customer care and that our supporter care systems and processes are efficiently maintained and delivered, ensuring donors have the optimal experience.

Guided by best practice, analysis and insight, and strategic objectives, you will have a proven track record of excellent project management skills and knowledge of managing a diverse development portfolio.

Reporting to the Director of Development & Partnerships, this role works closely with colleagues across the organization, incorporating budget management, database/CRM management, digital marketing, and social networks. Ideally, this post will also be pivotal in helping us to become ‘legacy-minded’ in our stewardship of donors and other supporters.

An enthusiastic self-starter with a hands-on approach, you will be capable of working independently or as part of a multi-disciplined team.

Your development knowledge and experience will help advance the protection of minority and indigenous peoples worldwide.

“Enter The House of St Barnabas - A public-minded private members’ club in London is demolishing stereotypes” – Dazed and Confused

Our mission is to break the cycle of homelessness.

We deliver our mission through our Employment Academy, through which participants experience a holistic programme of long-term support, helping them secure good work, a good home and a good network. When this programme is in progress, participants take on work experience throughout the House, in the club spaces and in our offices. The HoSB team act as professional buddies to those in office-based roles, working closely with them to provide skills training and to set a positive example of ways of working. This one to one support throughout the programme, and our wider club community of members and supporters, provides a supportive environment in which our participants can challenge themselves to change their lives.

Underpinning our Employment Academy is our vibrant member’s club based in our grade 1 listed building, right in the heart of Soho. Our member’s club further deepens our impact by:

• Providing a network for our participants of supportive mentors, employers and friends

• Offering a training ground for those returning to work through real-world work placements in hospitality and office-based roles

• Convening creative conversations across sectors and disciplines working to break the cycle of homelessness

We fund our work through the profit we make from membership and private hire, combined and matched with fundraising.

In order for our model to work, we aim to run an outstanding private members club; bringing together a diverse community of creative people who care about social change. We want them to experience high quality food and drink, a personalised service and an engaging offer of culture and events that entertain and enlighten.

We have exciting plans for the future. We intend to create a new entry point for those already in work but who want to progress from a first job after homelessness to “good work”, with better pay, more regular hours and better prospects for promotion, and we intend to increase provision through our accommodation pathway. To do this we will need to grow our commercial income from both the club and private hire (including a potential building development project). We also want to better use the skills and connections of our community of members and supporters in pursuit of our aims.
