Joining us now means joining a milestone moment. You’ll help write the next chapter of The King’s Trust, building on 50 years of empowering young people and setting the foundation for the next 50. If you’re a confident relationship-builder, with experience in global fundraising, especially in the US, who thrives on vision, strategy and high-value philanthropy - this is your opportunity to make history with us.
