Our Vision: A UK where “No good food goes to waste”.
We are UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to approximately 8,500 frontline charities and community groups. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.
There has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness. For more information visit our website.
FareShare is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and abilities and as a Disability Confident Employer, we provide reasonable adjustments.
We aim to recruit from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our commitment to redistributing surplus food, come and join us.
The role
The Senior Network Fundraising Manager is a new and vital role, created to maximise income generation across FareShare’s national team and 18 Network Partners. This role is integral to driving collaboration and establishing a strategic approach to fundraising across multiple sites.
FareShare has a vibrant national fundraising department that has consistently grown the organisation’s new and existing income streams in recent years. As we have grown, so have our regional delivery partners, who are independent charities, each investing in their own fundraising to sustain larger operations. The Senior Network Fundraising Manager will join FareShare’s Fundraising Leadership Team to enhance these efforts through strategic collaboration and clearly defined ways of working to maximise opportunities across our income streams.
Central to this role is the development and co-design of a strategic plan for fundraising across FareShare and our Network Partners. This plan will ensure we are better equipped for income generation, adopting consistent ways of working and a co-ordinated approach, which avoids overlapping our respective audiences and keeps the supporter at the heart of our decision making.
The Senior Network Fundraising Manager will facilitate and coordinate fundraising activities across multiple partners. This requires involving and inspiring key stakeholders, managing conflicts, setting clear expectations and responsibilities and driving continuous improvements to the way we work together. The role will ensure that the tools, frameworks, resources, monitoring and evaluation methods, and relationships are in place to successfully share information, champion successes and build new funding opportunities across FareShare and our Network Partners.
The role offers a fantastic and unique opportunity to develop a new strategic approach to fundraising across multiple charity partners, operating under the same brand and mission. You will have a strong track record in income generation, and experience or understanding of organisations working together in a federative structure. Cross-team collaboration is crucial to the role, and you will demonstrate strong relationship building, communication and influencing skills.
Main areas of responsibility
1. Lead the development of a Network Fundraising Strategy, incorporating co-designed ways of working and objectives across FareShare Network Partners.
2. Lead on culture change and new ways of working to ensure network partners are consulted and considered in all new fundraising activity.
3. Manage and coordinate FareShare’s monthly forum of network fundraisers and foster a culture of best practice, collective effort, collaboration and learning.
4. Identify network-wide investment projects and support the development of joint funding bids to secure significant income for FareShare and our partners.
5. Ensure national fundraising activity gives full consideration to network fundraising and its potential to be delivered locally.
6. Investigate and take learnings from how local fundraising activity could grow and be delivered nationally.
7. Stay abreast of all Network Partner fundraising activity, financial performance and longer-term business plans.
8. Act as the main point of connection for the flow of information between Network Partners and FareShare’s national fundraising team.
9. Champion the work of the network fundraising teams in cross-department and cross-organisation forums.
10. Track progress against strategy objectives and regularly review ways of working.
11. Play an active role in the leadership of FareShare’s fundraising team and the delivery of our national fundraising strategy.

Events and Community Fundraising Coordinator
£25,643 per year (London Living Wage)
Permanent, Full time 37.5 hours per week
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
We’re looking for an Events and Community Fundraising Coordinator to join our Events and Community Team. A high performing team who are driven to maximise opportunities, we aim to reach ambitious targets and provide an excellent supporter experience.
Our team raises funds through a range of activities including:
· our own events (e.g. March for Men)
· virtual products (e.g. The Month Series)
· third party events (e.g. London Marathon)
· Golf Days
· helping community fundraisers who organise their own activity
You’ll be our first point of contact for our fundraisers. You'll provide admin and support through telephone, email, and social media channels. You’ll build and manage relationships with existing and new supporters. From registration to the end of their supporter journey you'll help motivate during challenges, offer fundraising advice and ensure thanks at the end of a first-class experience. Whilst each Coordinator has a primary area of responsibility across different types of events, you’ll also work across teams to support where needed during busy periods of activity.
This role works with data through maintaining our Raiser’s Edge database. You'll also update records on JustGiving and Facebook Fundraising. This requires accuracy and working under the requirements of GDPR.
You’ll also work with our Communications teams. This supports the planning and delivery of our activity. You'll help engage with our digital adverts and identify compelling supporter stories. This helps to raise the profile of our fundraising products, as well as prostate cancer and Prostate Cancer UK.
What we want from you
You’ll have the drive and determination to provide crucial support to our sector-leading programme of events which generated over £10.3m of gross income in 2022-23. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their fundraising career to grow, develop and gain valuable skills and experience in a fundraising role within a progressive and innovative organisation. You’ll be part of a passionate and high energy team fighting to stop prostate cancer from being a killer.
You’ll make a positive and valuable contribution to the success of the Events and Community Fundraising team through excellent communication skills and being proactive in supporting our event participants. You’ll have a strong eye for detail, customer-centric mindset and will be able to prioritise a busy workload to ensure we are able to consistently deliver excellent supporter care. You’ll be self-motivated, well organised and have a ‘can-do’ approach to the role.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.
We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.
Ways of working
Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.

Founded by HM The King, our Royal Founding President, to tackle the global crisis of youth unemployment, our vision is that every young person should have the chance to succeed, and our mission is to empower young people to learn, earn and thrive.
Our programmes and interventions are now present in 20 countries within the Commonwealth and beyond, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East.

The King’s Trust International is committed to representing, at all levels, the global communities and young people that we serve.
The role
This role will play a key part in the success of fundraising at The King’s Trust International, both through managing a small portfolio of both philanthropy and corporate donors and more broadly through supporting the fundraising of the wider team. This exciting and varied role will provide key stewardship, reporting and event support as needed to cultivate and progress our funding pipeline. The postholder will work collaboratively across both philanthropy and corporate teams, supporting existing activity as well as helping to establish new areas such as networks and corporate engagement products.
The King’s Trust International’s celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2025 and this role will be central to the activity surrounding our celebrations including providing event support, creating engaging communications, and supporting campaign asks and prospecting across the team and senior leadership.
This is a great opportunity to fine tune the core fundraising skills required within the not-for-profit world and a fulfilling catalytic role within an innovative and impactful organisation. There is the possibility to specialise the remit of the role in future years in line with the needs of the charity.
About you
You will be a resilient, enthusiastic, self-starter with a strong understanding of the challenges facing young people, and the ability to deliver results under challenging and varied circumstances. Experience of fundraising and income generation with a sound understanding of the principles of meaningful engagement will enable you to successfully cultivate and steward a personal portfolio of prospects, funders or other clients with a demonstrable track record of your ability to influence and secure sustainable results. You will be a strong, persuasive and confident communicator, both orally and written and possess strong planning and organisational skills and the ability to work effectively and collaboratively with diverse groups of people and with key senior stakeholders. Experience of MS Office and using remote and digital work tools (e.g. spreadsheets, project planning tools) accurately and with good attention to detail is essential.
We believe that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter their background or the challenges they are facing.
