Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is a charity with our office based in the Olympic Park in East London. We occupy a unique position as the only national organisation led by disabled people. 90% of our trustees have lived experience of disability, as do the majority of our staff and volunteers. We describe ourselves as ‘disabled people leading change’.
Our charitable objectives include breaking the link between poverty and disability and challenging negative perceptions in society. We work to reduce the additional barriers that disabled people face. Evidence of injustice and inequality that we gather is taken forward into our policy and campaigning work.
We offer advice and information services to disabled people and member organisations. Our website reaches one million people each year with factsheets on subjects such as welfare benefits, housing, education, transport and accessing legal advice.
DR UK runs a range of innovative projects, working with partners including other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), to demonstrate new approaches to disabled people’s participation. For example, we have a successful model of working with disabled people, local DPOs, social workers and Sport England to change attitudes, perceptions and practices around physical activity and wellbeing.
To underpin this vital and far-reaching work we have a plan to increase our annual income from individual giving, legacies, grant funding and corporate activity.
The role
This is an exciting time to join us. This newly created post is designed to build our digital fundraising, grow the number of individuals actively supporting DR UK and increase income from trusts and foundations. You will be asked to come up with as many effective, innovative and engaging fundraising approaches as possible to help achieve these aims.
DR UK has continued working at full capacity during the pandemic:
- supporting disabled people contacting our helplines
- producing special Covid-19 supplements for the advice sector
- creating high level channels for feeding the experiences of disabled people into emerging national policy and practice
Motivation and communication across staff teams has never been better – being already used to remote working and having a strong unity of purpose at this time.
As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the design of new systems and ways of working. This will include helping shape the development of our digital strategy and the fundraising aspects of our new website, to be launched in the second half of 2021.
To fulfil this wide-ranging role, we are seeking a highly creative, determined and enthusiastic fundraising all-rounder, with the ability to lead on income generating activities, while working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.
You will report to and work with our Head of Business Development to make sure fundraising activities meet annual targets, raise DR UK’s profile and enhance our reputation in line with our values.
In return we offer a highly competitive salary, employer pension, flexi-working and an informal, inclusive and modern workplace within the Here East innovation zone on the edge of the London Olympic Park. There will be opportunities for training and personal development.

About The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's leading food redistribution charity. We rescue surplus food from businesses, supermarkets, restaurants and farms. This food is nutritious, in-date, and safe – and includes a high proportion of fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. If Felix did not rescue this food, it would be thrown away and wasted. Instead, we deliver it completely free of charge to local charities, schools, food banks, COVID food hubs and other organisations serving people in need. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and keyworkers. Our vision is a London where no one goes hungry and good food is never wasted.
The Felix Project is a very ambitious and dynamic young charity. We haven’t stopped growing since we were founded in 2016 in memory of Felix Byam Shaw, by his father, entrepreneur Justin Byam Shaw. Right now, we are running a very high-profile media fundraising campaign with the Evening Standard and Independent, which is on track to raise 10 million pounds. We have had celebrity endorsement from the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Jack Whitehall. This winter, we will partner with FareShare to run their London depot independently. By the end of 2020, we plan to have delivered enough food for 20 million meals. We have huge growth plans for the next 4 years – aiming to have the capacity to deliver food for 100 million meals by 2024. This will be enough to almost eradicate hunger in London.
