Our fundraising campaigns have gone from strength to strength and we have been delighted and inspired by our community which has responded to our new, and in some cases virtual, fundraising activities with enthusiasm. The continuation of their support has been so great to see and we’re extremely grateful.

We are looking ahead to a period of growth as we put the impact of the pandemic behind us and innovate and adapt further. We are confident the charity can continue to support those who need us, and our new organisational strategy will give us the direction and drive for the next exciting chapter in the charity’s future.

You will be a highly motivated and target driven individual with proven evidence of raising significant income and high levels of engagement from regular givers and/or members. You'll have experience of legacy, and in-memory giving, and of working with key stakeholders, including Trustees and CEOs. 

You will have the ability to identify opportunities and develop innovative methods to appeal to prospective legacy donors, members and long-term supporters, coupled with experience of providing excellent stewardship and nurturing experiences for donors. You will be sensitive and diplomatic, and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills which, when added to your professional, positive and can-do attitude, will enable you to engage effectively with key stakeholders, current and potential donors, suppliers, agencies and colleagues from across the charity. You will be tenacious, an excellent negotiator and be motivated by securing great value for money.
