About the Lambeth Youth Opportunities Fund

Lambeth Council and The London Community Foundation have partnered to create the Lambeth Youth Opportunities Fund (LYOF). The aim is to provide support and funding for local children’s and young people’s voluntary sector. The LYOF aim is to help young people to be safe, resilient, healthy and achieve their potential. We want to identify, test and scale the most innovative and effective initiatives to reduce inequality amongst young people in Lambeth.

The Lambeth Youth Opportunities Fund is focused on improving the life chances for the most vulnerable young people in the borough: children living in poverty, children with special educational needs and disabilities, looked after children and care leavers. The Fund will also prioritise supporting young people from communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 such as black African and Caribbean communities.

Background

In consultation with Lambeth’s voluntary community sector, the LYOF was launched in December 2020 with an individual giving campaign. Letters were mailed to residents and local businesses introducing the LYOF and seeking donations via the online payment platform.

Adverts raising awareness of the fund ran in a number of local publications and a video featuring (then) Leader of the Council, Cllr Hopkins was posted on Lambeth Council’s Linkedin page. Links to the donation platform were posted on the council’s twitter and Instagram pages.

The Fund has raised £42,000 to date and continues to receive donations from residents.

We have an exciting opportunity for two highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates to join the Foothold fundraising & communications team working remotely from home.

We’re ideally looking for one person to focus on developing our individual giving and legacy income, and a second person to lead on corporate and community/challenge events income. This can be flexible dependant on experience and interests.

You’ll be joining a team of 5 fundraising and marketing professionals working proactively to raise income and awareness of Foothold across the engineering sector.

We have around 42,000 wonderful fundraising supporters who you’ll work alongside to develop long term relationships, whilst proactively developing new relationships and partnerships to benefit Foothold.

These are newly created roles and there is the opportunity to truly make your mark. To find out more about Foothold and the roles download the candidate information pack.

About Foothold:

We may not know much about engineering, but we do know engineers. We’ve been supporting IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) members and their families since 1890.

We understand people and we understand how life can be at work and at home. It’s unpredictable, complex, demanding. Amidst the busyness of our lives we often forget that being well is just as important as doing well.

More of us are feeling stressed in our jobs. One in four of us will have a mental health problem this year. More of us are living longer. Our health needs are growing yet we have a shortage of carers. Rising costs are forcing living standards down. And we’re facing a loneliness epidemic.

We all need to start taking better care of one another, because we all need a little support from time to time. Even engineers.

We’re here so engineers and their families never need to face life’s challenges without support. We want engineers across the world to feel supported in all aspects of their lives and to feel that it’s OK to ask for that support. We want them to be healthy and able to stand on their own two feet. We want them to feel looked after but also empowered by their professional community.

Funded by engineers, for engineers, Foothold is here for engineers and the people who matter to them most. Whatever the problem, big or small.

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead a space which is already incredibly important to the charity but where we are fortunate to possess particular, exciting potential for substantial growth. Our award-winning, multi-layered, 7-figure relationship with Liberty Global plc sits at the heart of this unique opportunity.

We are searching for a hands-on fundraising leader with the imagination, energy, personality, ambition and passion to help us make the most of these great possibilities!

There are three main dimensions to this role:

1. Playing a major 'hands-on' fundraising role in maximising our largest opportunities, both with Liberty Global and beyond;
2. Leading, supporting and managing the development of a growing team of excellent corporate fundraisers. Defining, and executing, Street Child's corporate fundraising strategy;

FLT colleagues include leaders responsible for trusts/foundations, public fundraising, marketing/communications & European fundraising. Constant team-working, a rejection of siloes, a recognition of massive overlaps and synergies between different aspects of fundraising and a 'shared ownership' of the charity's biggest opportunities and challenges are fundamental to our approach at Street Child - excellent relationships among FLT are key!

As leader of Street Child's global corporate fundraising, you will be charged with delivering great results in these areas:

1. The direct opportunity with Liberty Global and its subsidiaries;
2. The wider opportunity with Liberty Global's corporate network (banks, consultancies, law-firms, tech, media etc) who LG have a strong track-record of encouraging to support Street Child*, hitherto in particular through the flag-ship annual gala and 2-day bike ride events;
3. High-level ownership of the corporate gala and Big Ride events - and a mandate to imagine, co-create and bring to life further events that will advance Street Child's corporate proposition;
4. Development of Street Child's wider UK corporate opportunity - building on our existing corporate track-record, and the narrative of a 'fast-growing, demonstrably impactful charity, focussed on an area of massive, undeniable need' to win and build the broadest possible range of great new corporate partnerships for Street Child;
5. Supporting EU colleagues in the development of European corporate fundraising opportunities;
6. Exploring, and actively pursuing, great corporate opportunities for Street Child beyond UK and EU - e.g. USA, Middle East
7. Opportunities for partnerships with corporates based, or with interests, in Street Child's African and Asian programme countries.  
8. Managing a range of major donor relationships, especially those corporate dimensions - in partnership with FLT colleagues.

The skills, experience and attitude we are after:

1. Almost certainly you have an impressive track-record in corporate fundraising; but just possibly you are an exceptional candidate who has achieved great things in another dimension of fundraising; or are coming from a superb corporate background;
2. We need someone who is excited to both roll their sleeves up; and work strategically. Our house leadership-style is 'leading by doing';
3. You demonstrably have what it takes to lead a high-performing, happy, passionate team - either because you can demonstrate prior success in this area; or you can show that you have what it takes to lead;
4. You work brilliantly with colleagues. You aren't territorial. You are motivated by the bigger-picture. You spot and can exploit synergies. Street Child is a 'no siloes' domain!
5. You excel in a dynamic, ambitious, agile environment;
6. You've got the drive, personality, imagination, relationship-development skills and professionalism to achieve massive goals for children;
7. You are excited about being part of building something;
8. You are absolutely passionate about Street Child's mission of working for the futures of children in the world's toughest contexts.

This position is imagined as a full-time role, predominantly based out of our new Central London office - but we are open to variations, especially for compelling candidates. Starting salary will reflect experience. Success will absolutely be recognised with salary progression, regardless of starting salary point. 

Street Child began its life in 2008 with a single-project for 100 street-connected children in Sierra Leone. We have grown every day since. In 2021 we want to make a difference for 500,000 children in up to 20 countries - and impact a million children by 2024. Success in this role is critical to our ability to achieve these goals.

This is a massive role for the charity. It should equally be a massive career move for you. For the right person, we believe this is a simply wonderful and unique career opportunity. To express your interest, please click 'Apply' for details on where to send your CV and a brief covering letter - ideally ASAP.
