There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1 million by 2021, and 2 million by 2050.

In response to this, Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions that people need. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline – it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past four years (income has doubled to almost £10 million), and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

Philanthropy fundraising will play a key part in this expansion and presents a huge opportunity for growth. The Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships joined Dementia UK in summer 2019 to bring together fundraising from corporate partners and charitable trusts, and to develop a philanthropy programme. The groundwork for this programme has now been done; we have a pool of warm prospects, an engaged events committee, and good connections to high net worth networks across the City and beyond. We now need an experienced Philanthropy Manager to build on and grow these foundations. There is a clear appetite for philanthropy fundraising across all levels of the charity, and the chosen candidate will have both support and independence to raise significant income through major gifts.

Our five-year organisational strategy launches in April 2020, giving us a clear, ambitious vision of the leading role Dementia UK will play in supporting families facing dementia. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to really make their mark on a charity and make a real, tangible difference to the experiences of those living with dementia.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust (BCRT) is the leading charity dedicated to fighting primary bone cancer. Our mission is to save lives and improve outcomes through research, information, awareness and support. In July 2019 we were awarded 'National Healthcare & Medical Research Charity of the Year' at the national Charity Awards and earlier in the year the Yorkshire & Humber Institute of Fundraising awarded our Fundraising & Communications Team with 'Fundraising Team of the Year'. We are a small but incredibly passionate and driven organisation that is proud and supportive of our people - together we make the biggest impact for our community. 

The Role

The Challenge Events Fundraising Officer will contribute to the overall fundraising strategy by delivering a programme of activities that maximise income generation and recruitment and retention of supporters.

You will operate as a key member of the Challenge Events Team and will have the opportunity to explore new exciting opportunities for the charity. You will also lead on existing events which form part of our core income programme and help grow our expanding portfolio of Challenge Events.

To deliver on our strategy through to 2022 we need to deliver high quality, meaningful events that help meet our income and charitable objectives. This role will have a direct impact on the primary bone cancer community through Challenge Events by empowering and involving patients, carers, friends, relatives, healthcare professionals and researchers.

About You

The ideal candidate will bring experience of successfully building events fundraising streams through different challenges and bespoke events as well developing meaningful relationships with professional event organisers. They will be results-orientated with a passion for first-class supporter care. They will build excellent working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders as they pull together new ideas for events that will help to ultimately save lives.

As we are a small team, a team-player attitude is a must, as well as a positive and can-do approach.

If you have excellent communication and event management skills, a natural ability to liaise with stakeholders, and determination to succeed, we would like to hear from you.
