Fundraising Executive
Every day brings new challenges for our client. Every day, over 600 seriously ill children from across the UK arrive for life-changing treatments. Every day, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses. And every day, the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world.
It’s the ground-breaking research that our client has in common with Sparks, the children’s medical research charity, and the two charities came together in February 2017 to jointly fund only the highest quality of researchers all across the UK, and to respond to the severe underfunding in child health research.
Externally, Sparks’ charity number, brand and fundraising continues to be separate from that of our client charitys, but internally, they work in a completely integrated way, which has resulted in many benefits and opportunities for both charities.
Their staff help to raise vital funds for the hospital but are also in the unique position of representing both charities under the Charity Family banner. While the two charities live under the same roof, their fundraising activities and ways of working are different, and this gives their teams huge opportunity to think differently, innovate and play different roles in both charities abilities to reach their goals.
They have just entered an exciting new phase in Sparks’ fundraising history. One in three children with a rare condition won’t live to celebrate their fifth birthday. Their research can save their lives. A better future for critically ill children starts with you.
The No Time to Lose campaign is a four-year multichannel fundraising campaign providing a single, unifying £10m target and messaging for all forms of Sparks’ fundraising. Externally, this will provide the urgency supporters need to get involved, demonstrate the impact they can have more easily, and inspire them to talk about Sparks to their networks.

Two exciting opportunities to work with a dynamic national charity based in Stratford:
For over 30 years School-Home Support has been working with disadvantaged children, young people and families who are struggling with their education due to a wide range of complex issues. SHS gets children and young people back into school ready to learn, whatever it takes. Our work breaks down barriers to learning such as poverty, domestic violence and poor housing. We are a small dynamic charity with proven impact. During the last year we have expanded our services into areas of the UK where there are high levels of need.
Due to internal promotions in the fundraising team we are now recruiting for two posts. Both posts are based in the SHS Central Office in Stratford, a 10 minutes walk from the station and well served with both underground and mainline trains, including Stratford International, Jubilee and Central line tubes, Overground and DLR.
Fundraising Assistant - 37.5 hours a week, full time based in Stratford
Fundraising Assistant (Trusts & Foundations) - 37.5 hours a week, full time based in Stratford
The fundraising team at SHS is small and dynamic. We are all totally passionate about the work SHS does, so first and foremost we are looking for people who share our commitment to educational equality. The Fundraising Team has a high profile within SHS as we rely increasingly on voluntary income to ensure we reach vulnerable children. The team shares responsibility for the overall fundraising target. We are collaborative and support each other; so a strong team ethic is a must. The Stratford office staff team is also small with around 10-12 people (not including the fundraising team). There will be opportunity to engage directly with staff running services, our CEO and colleagues working directly with children and families, so you will learn a lot about our work and feel close to it. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidates to develop and learn.
Fundraising Assistant
37.5 hours a week, full time
Salary: £22,000 per annum

You will work with colleagues across the central office including finance, our (tiny) comms team and our team responsible for the services SHS provides. It’s a busy role, with changing priorities. There’s a mixture of regular tasks and projects alongside new developments linked to new opportunities. Included in the role will be prospect research, managing our small individual donor base, organising events, and taking a lead on monitoring fundraising targets. You will be supported by one of the team’s Senior Partnership Managers.
Fundraising Assistant (Trusts & Foundations)
37.5 hours a week, full time
Salary: £22,000 per annum
Based in Stratford
This role is embedded in our small Trusts team. The majority of our voluntary income comes from Trust and Foundations and we have a good relationship with a wide range of Trusts who continue to support us year on year. The quality of our applications, reporting and feedback is exemplary. We have powerful case studies, compelling impact data and well researched statistics that explain the need for support. We are looking for someone who is keen to develop their skills in all aspects of Trust fundraising, including prospect research, bid writing, report compilation and account management. You will need to have very high quality writing skills, using every opportunity to showcase your creativity and flair for making a strong case for support. It’s also imperative you have forensic attention to detail, and a careful, questioning approach in helping to steward our large portfolio of Trust and Foundation. The role provides opportunity to learn all aspects of Trust fundraising as you will be working closely with both our newly promoted Trusts Executive and with our Senior Trusts Manager.

Lead on all major donor work for this important women's health charity.
This role helps to drive a renewed and strategic energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give up to six figures.
There are already a number of high-profile events in the pipeline for next year, thanks to an engaged trustee board, including a flagship, annual HNWI sport event and a large fundraising dinner led by a high profile celebrity.
A number of smaller events are also planned and the successful candidate will lead on these as well as develop a calendar of events. The successful candidate will need to utilise and develop existing and new relationships, ensuring a strategic engagement plan is in place to allow this income stream to grow and mature.
You will be joining a small but impressive fundraising team, who in 2018 raised c£2.2 million and in 2019 look set to raise £1.8 million. Under the stewardship of a new CEO, this is an exciting time to be joining as they look to grow income from the major donor stream, with the support and guidance of an engaged and dynamic SMT and Trustee board.
The fundraising team is made up of corporate, events and individual giving, two trust fundraisers (which has traditionally been the ‘bread and butter’ of the organisation, working with funding bodies such as Garfield Weston) and one major donor fundraiser (this role). In total, the organisation has 13 core staff members.
As Major Donor Manager you will:
- continue the stewardship of a portfolio of warm funders who give upwards of £5k, working to a target of £400k
- grow a pipeline of mid- and high-level giving (anything up to six figures) as well as securing multi-year giving. This could be by reengaging prospects or engaging cold prospects.
- own the day to day philanthropic giving, including planning and delivering a programme of events
- make this income stream your own, working closely and strategically with senior internal and external stakeholders.
The position would best suit:
- an experienced fundraiser, able to hit the ground running
- someone who will become the bedrock of this income stream by stewarding confidently and proactively looking for new, untapped areas of development (30-40% stewardship with a large amount of business development)
- a creative fundraiser, well versed in securing six figure gifts
- an externally focused relationship builder, generating new income by engaging new funders and developing excellent proposals, whilst working to develop an already robust portfolio of fundraising collateral
- a proactive and confident team player, able to shift focus from complex relationships and asks, to supporting the wider fundraising team, undertaking administrative tasks and financial reporting, and upholding fundraising best practice.

High Trees Community Development Trust is a community anchor charity based in Tulse Hill in Lambeth. We deliver a range of services focused in 4 key areas – Community Action, Children, Young People and Family Services, Community Education and Training and Employment and Careers. All our work is focused on improving the social and economic welfare of the local community.
We are looking for a talented and committed individual who is able to co-ordinate all of our external communications and contribute to our fundraising work. High Trees have been through a rebranding exercise which is shortly due to launch, which has not only created a new website and template of communications tools but also clarified our vision, mission and values. The successful candidate will play a key role in growing the profile and reach of the organisation, ensuring our messages reach our key audiences and is utilised to effectively improve our fundraising efforts across all of our service areas.
You will be able to fluently draft copy and communicate clear messaging, whether this is for our website, social media, flyers (using InDesign), newsletters and annual reports or in bids or reports to funders and potential funders. You will quickly gain an understanding of our multiple services and projects and the ethos that underpins all our work and messaging. You will co-ordinate our communications across the organisation, responsible for producing a communications plan and working with the service teams to ensure it is adhered to. You will collate and produce information with which you will use our brand guidelines to speak clearly using the High Trees voice, whether this is in order to draft fundraising bids or spread the message of our work. You will have the IT literacy needed to produce the desk based research needed to provide the context for funders that our work is needed, quickly master in-design if this is not an existing skill and use the full range of social media platforms. You will also develop our online fundraising and opportunities for individual donations.
You will be responsible for regularly identifying and leading on fundraising opportunities and support on bid writing to increase the scope of our work. High Trees CSR relationships are in their infancy and you will create and deliver a plan to increase the impact of these relationships and develop new ones, ensuring these are mutually beneficial and produce tangible benefits for the organisation.
You will also be responsible for the running and coordination of events across the organisation, whether this is developing and delivering these as part of the yearly plan (for example AGM’s or Community Days) or doing the event coordination and supporting on the delivery for events held by the service teams.
High Trees are far more interested in your aptitude for the role than any specific previous experience. You will have a passion and commitment for work in the community sector and contributing to our aims and values. You must be a talented communicator and possess excellent written and verbal fluency, with an instinct for framing our work in the way that is most effective. You will also be very comfortable with the coordination, organisational and administrative aspects of the role, and be able to methodically plan and carry out the bulk of the communication functions within our organisations.
