Fundraising support team manager jobs

About Us

School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is an education charity that exists to empower and support young people who are living in complex and challenging circumstances. By fostering an environment of genuine acceptance and through the use of physical activity, group sessions and one-to-one support sessions, SOHK enables people to find meaning and purpose to life.
