THE PROGRAMME

The Platform Cricket Programme is an exciting initiative aimed at supporting more young people from deprived and BAME backgrounds in London to develop in and through cricket. The areas we work in bring us into contact with some of the most marginalised, vulnerable, and disadvantaged children in the UK.

We create new “Pop Up” youth cricket clubs in areas where there is currently little to no provision, working directly with schools to recruit new participants. These activities are set-up to remove as many of the known barriers to voluntary participation as possible but importantly, they also feature opportunities for young people to positively replace and address the reasons why they may otherwise fall into poor health, antisocial behaviour, and crime in later years.

The community-based activities aim to incubate young peoples’ interest in the game and develop their skills adequately so that transition into an established, mainstream cricket club becomes more likely from 11 years old and upwards.

In 2020-21 we worked with 18,378 children in 322 schools across 16 London Boroughs. 927 of those children took up a place in our community provision, of which 76% were from a BAME background, 42% were female and 38% were from a disadvantaged background.

THE ROLE

Location: Central London
Hours: 37.5 hours per week (some flexibility towards working hours required)
 

We are seeking candidates for a Fundraising Manager role that will secure the income required to drive the charity through its next phase of growth and development. 

The role is ideal for a motivated self-starter who enjoys challenge, a high degree of autonomy and interaction with the charity’s frontline services and beneficiaries.  

The postholder will be responsible for:

• A fundraising target of £200-£400K
• Applications for annual and multi-year grants
• Developing and managing relationships with funders and supporters
• Contributing to effective administrative processes
• Improving Platform Cricket’s profile, reputation and standing

Whilst we will support staff with strong governance and management alongside planned professional development, our Fundraising Manager will be the face of our organisation to a range of important partners and stakeholders. We therefore require candidates that possess:

• 3-5 years’ experience in a fundraising role
• A personable manner, at ease in a wide variety of environments, with confident communication skills
• Strong IT, administrative and organisational skills
• An ability to work remotely to self-determined project-management deadlines
• A practical understanding of marketing, communications, and social media

It is also desirable, although not essential, that the postholder has a knowledge and passion for sport and physical activity, believing in its ability to have a positive impact on young people and their communities.

We welcome approaches from candidates who are interested in taking up our Fundraising Manager role through an agreement which allows them to maintain a self-employed status.

Platform Cricket is committed to the safeguarding of young people and as such all successful applicants will be expected to either hold or undergo an Enhanced DBS Check.

Over the past seven years, Frontline has leveraged its success to build committed, high impact partnerships with a number of prestigious supporters including corporates, individuals, trusts and foundations. Our new fundraising strategy focuses on increasing our network of supporters, growing our fundraising events and identifying new potential funders.

We are looking for an experienced fundraising officer to join the fundraising team, which sits within the external relations division. The fundraising team is responsible for raising between £1m and £1.5m in philanthropic revenue annually, from corporate foundations, trusts and high net-worth donors. Frontline’s philanthropic revenue compliments the contract revenue it receives from central and local government and enables the charity to carry out its broader mission to create social change for hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged children by developing excellent social work.

This position is one of two fundraising officer roles within the fundraising team. The successful candidate will work closely with the head of fundraising and other fundraising officer to implement Frontline’s annual fundraising plan, taking specific responsibility for researching and engaging new corporate, trust and foundations funders, developing strong relationships and writing thoughtful and creative funding proposals. They will also be responsible for managing a number of key existing accounts, ensuring a high level of engagement with Frontline, and the delivery of high-quality grant reports. The successful candidate will also support the rest of the team in identifying new donors and new sources of revenue, including but not restricted to HNWI, event fundraising and small donor programmes. The fundraising team is supported by the marketing, events and communications staff of the external relations division.
