REF-214740

The Bike Project is fortunate to be supported by a wide range of Trusts & Foundations, Major Donors and Corporates as well as many committed members of the public. In 2023, we took the decision to consolidate and bring in-house our fundraising activity. Over the past twelve months we have worked hard to ensure that we create a virtuous circle in our fundraising and engagement activity, for example, looking at how our corporate partners can engage their employees to support our work.

This is a new role which will lead on major donor fundraising and development of corporate partnerships and earned income through an in-house employee servicing and team away-day offer. As the charity moves forward, it is critical that we strengthen and diversify our unrestricted income streams and this is an exciting opportunity to shape a key are of fundraising that will contribute to that goal and the future sustainability of our charity.  

This role will work closely with the Chief Executive, Head of Marketing and Fundraising and Head of Grants and Impact on a shared approach to fundraising. We work in a joined-up way to ensure that we take full advantage of every opportunity to maximise benefit for our bike recipients. In particular, you will work closely with the Chief Executive to manage some of our most significant relationships, ensuring that our donors and partners are well looked-after, kept up to date on our activities and understand the impact of their support. 

Being a small charity, we work in an agile manner which allows for creative ideas to flourish and new ideas to be implemented quickly. We hold donation sessions weekly out of our London and Birmingham workshops, so there is opportunity to see the impact of your work first hand.

As a team member at the Bike Project you’ll enjoy a fantastic benefits package, including extended family leave, a standard holiday allowance starting at 25 days and increasing with each year of service, access to the Reward Hub, and an Employee Assistance Program.

We particularly encourage applications from disabled, and global majority candidates, and those who have personal experience of being a refugee or the asylum system. 

The Bike Project’s mission is simple – to match up refugees without the means or money to travel, with the thousands of abandoned or unwanted bikes in the UK.   

People seeking asylum are forced to live off less than £9 per day and those lucky enough to get refugee status still face high unemployment and isolation. A bike links people to essential services, including foodbanks and legal advice, as well as the local community. 

To apply

Please apply via Charity Job website with a C.V and cover letter which highlights:

· Why you would like to raise funds for The Bike Project

· Highlight your skills, experience, and knowledge which you think would make you a good candidate, ensuring you cover the points of the person specification.

About Kingston Charitable Foundation

Kingston CF launched as an independent charity in January 2021, following eight successful years as local community fundraising project, Love Kingston. We are a small, dedicated team with over 30 years' third sector experience between us, and we work closely with our very supportive Board of Trustees.

Our mission is to:

• Identify where social needs exist in our area through commissioning, publishing, and utilising the best research available

• Provide funds to local support groups that have the expertise to alleviate need, enrich people’s lives and improve their life chances

• Inspire and engage with local donors to help build sustainable long-term funds to support our vision

• Build sustainable funds to increase the level of immediate and long-term resources available to organisations with charitable purposes across the borough of Kingston upon Thames

By awarding grants, Kingston CF enables community groups and small charities to continue to deliver much needed services and support across the borough. Our staff costs are entirely grant funded from other organisations, so that of every £1 raised through fundraising, 90p goes directly to these good causes supporting local people in our shared community.

There has never been a better time to join our ambitious team; Kingston CF is currently Charity of the Year for Kingston Chamber of Commerce, and we are undertaking Peer Research this summer, into ‘What Kingston Thinks’ with Rocket Science to inform and support the shaping of our strategy for the next 3 years.
