Lifelites is a unique charity that has been providing innovative assistive and sensory equipment, specialist training and technical support to the children’s palliative care sector for 25 years.
Our inclusive technology empowers over 13,500 children to play, create and communicate, helping families build joyful memories and experience moments of fun and connectivity.
We are looking for an experienced relationship fundraiser to join our small team and help us engage with, and fundraise from, corporates, membership organisations, special interest groups and community groups across the southern half of England and Wales.
This is an amazing opportunity to join an established charity looking to grow and diversify both its fundraising and service provision over the next 5 years.
Whether you are looking for a new challenge or are ready for the next step in your career, we would love to hear from you.
