We are looking for someone who is a driven self-starter, who thrives working in a small team environment and who is passionate about helping Duchenne UK achieve our mission, to end Duchenne.

What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)

DMD is a devastating muscle wasting disease and is the most common genetic killer of children worldwide.  The disease is caused by a lack of the protein dystrophin in the body which acts as a shock absorber, and without it, the muscles are damaged by everyday use.  Diagnosed almost always in boys, usually before the age of five. Children often lose mobility by their teens and are unlikely to live beyond their thirties.  In the UK there are around 2,500 boys affected and around 300,000 worldwide. There are limited treatment options and no cure.

Duchenne UK

Duchenne UK has one clear aim – to end Duchenne. Our heart and soul, and our reason for carrying on, are our boys, men and rare girls living with DMD. 

We are the largest funder of DMD research in the UK. We connect leading researchers with industry, the NHS and families to challenge every stage of drug development to make the incurable, curable. Together, we will find treatments for this generation of patients with Duchenne.

We’re doing this by funding research that’s focused on getting treatments to those affected now – as well as pushing as far as we can for effective treatments in the future. And we’re here to support every family affected and ensure that they receive the best possible care. We aim to not only improve quality of life, but stop the disease in its tracks. We’re doing it faster, too, because this generation of patients can’t wait.

WaveLength is proud to be the UK’s leading charity focusing on loneliness and social isolation, working across the UK in local communities to reduce loneliness for people living in poverty by providing technology such as radios, televisions and tablets.

Research estimates that over 9 million in the UK are lonely at any given time. We help reduce the experience of loneliness by connecting people via technology to their families, support networks and communities. We calculate we work with over 25,000 beneficiaries a year.

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the desperate issue of loneliness for millions
of people and raised awareness of the need for support across a wide range of donors. We want to capture the momentum of this increased awareness to build on our fundraising capability.

With strong fundraising foundations in place, we recently completed a review of our opportunities and resources and have a new focus on refreshing our existing donor base whilst diversifying our income streams. As part of this diversification, we are ambitious to recruit an experienced Digital Lead to develop our digital fundraising and communications activity.

We have a good understanding of our impact and have research that proves what we do works to alleviate loneliness, however we want to be better at weaving this knowledge, insight and personal evidence from the individuals we help into our storytelling, to build stronger and far-reaching supporter engagement through digital and traditional channels.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven, ambitious and experienced fundraiser to help us further build and drive our fundraising function forward. Working closely with the CEO, you will help set the digital fundraising and communications strategy, being directly responsible for raising related income and, as we grow and develop, you will also have the opportunity to build, support and lead a dedicated team alongside you. There is excellent scope for professional development within the role; to work autonomously and really own the outcome of your efforts whilst also being part of a supportive, collaborative and dedicated organisation.
