Volunteer It Yourself (VIY), a UK-wide not-for-profit organisation linked to youth skills/employment, volunteering and construction, is looking for a passionate Fundraising Coordinator to support our income generation work and help us grow our funding.
As the Fundraising Coordinator you will support VIY’s new business function by keeping information organised, managing key systems, and helping with early‑stage bid writing. You’ll make sure the ream has what they need to move funding opportunities forward and help keep our processes running smoothly.
We’re seeking someone who is organised, curious and confident in their writing, with the ability to juggle different tasks and build positive relationships across the team. You don’t need previous fundraising experience — transferable skills from other roles or sectors are just as valuable.
You will play an important role in supporting VIY’s income growth and helping the team work efficiently as we expand nationally. This is a great entry point into fundraising, giving you hands‑on experience in research, bid coordination, stewardship support and Customer Relationship Manager CRM (we use Salesforce) within a fast‑moving, mission‑driven organisation.
Please send an up-to-date CV and a cover letter (of no more than one page). Your cover letter should outline how your skills and experience would help you meet the person specification, giving clear examples.
Application deadline: Monday 28th September

Could you be the person who helps make brilliant fundraising happen behind the scenes?
Natasha’s Foundation, the food allergy charity, is looking for an experienced, highly organised and personable Fundraising & Supporter Care Coordinator to join our small and ambitious fundraising team.
We’re a passionate, energetic and friendly team, united by a determination to make a real difference. We work hard, move quickly and have big ambitions for a small charity – but we also really value the way we work together. Everyone brings something different, ideas are welcomed, people support one another and there’s a genuine sense of excitement about what we can achieve.
This is a varied role for someone who loves working with people, takes real pride in getting the detail right and is equally comfortable supporting a donor, working with data or helping a busy fundraising team stay one step ahead.
You’ll be at the heart of our fundraising operation: providing warm and thoughtful supporter care, supporting individual giving, helping us make the best use of our Beacon CRM, producing accurate fundraising and income information, and supporting proposals, reports, communications and fundraising resources.
We’re looking for someone who is warm, organised, numerate and confident with data, with excellent attention to detail and practical experience of using Beacon CRM. Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who will enjoy being part of our team – someone positive, proactive and willing to get stuck in.
You’ll be joining Natasha’s Foundation at an exciting point in our journey. We are working to improve the lives of people with food allergy through education, campaigning and pioneering medical research, with one hugely ambitious goal: a future without food allergy.
If you enjoy making things work brilliantly, care about giving supporters a great experience and want to bring your skills and energy to a charity where your contribution will genuinely be noticed and valued, we’d love to hear from you.
