The challenge
Vision impairment or blindness affects over 2.2 billion people globally, and at least 1 billion people have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. 89% of visually impaired children and adults live in poor countries. Sight loss is not purely a health issue, it directly affects an individual’s ability to access employment, causes social isolation and family breakdown, and is a significant factor in worsening poverty.
The British Council for Prevention of Blindness (BCPB) funds innovative and pioneering research projects, and part-funds training of eye care professionals from the world’s poorest countries. We focus almost entirely on supporting the few, who will transfer their knowledge and skills in blindness prevention to health care workers and influence governments who are then in the position to pass on the benefits to the many – the so-called ‘cascade effect’. Our approach helps ensure that our interventions are sustainable and learning is shared widely to achieve the greatest impact.
BCPB is a very small charity making a huge impact on people’s lives. We employ a part-time Charity Manager and a part-time Fundraising Manager, and are now looking for someone dynamic to help us sustain our current work while our Fundraising Manager is on maternity leave.
Summary of Role
We are searching for a results driven person with at least three years fundraising experience and a strong track record, who is a confident communicator, proactive, flexible, comfortable working independently, and can hit the ground running. You will manage relationships with our existing trust and foundation donors, and research new potential trust and foundation supporters, develop and build new relationships with corporate funding partners, identify challenge events and promote them, research and identify new major donors, identify ways to develop legacy income, and maintain and develop our website and social media. This role is 21 hours per week. You will be home based during Covid-19 with some work in due course at BCPB's office based in Bloomsbury, London WC1.

Are you looking for an opportunity to develop your fundraising skills and make a real impact towards our aim to reverse the rise in people forced to sleep on the street?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Philanthropy Officer to join our supportive team of experienced fundraisers. This is a fantastic time to join us at St Mungo’s.
As Philanthropy Officer, you will provide valuable administrative support to the Major and High Value Donor team to ensure that we provide an exceptional experience for our supporters. You will also manage a portfolio of relationships with our supporters, including planning events and visits to projects and writing letters, proposals and reports to connect in a meaningful and effective way with those engaged with our cause.
To ensure we are effectively engaging potential supporters of our work, you will collaborate with our teams delivering vital work in services to develop engaging ways of talking about their work and its impact, and deliver communications to new and existing audiences.
The team is going from strength to strength having over-achieved on fundraising targets last year and are now building on this success to enable the charity to transform and expand services to meet the growing need in the current housing crisis. As a department focussed on progression and career development, this role has arisen due to positive changes elsewhere in the team.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking for someone with excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills at all levels, including both internal and external stakeholders.
If you are able to prepare and deliver compelling engagement and effectively manage processes and projects for a team, we will support you to develop the skills needed to personally secure income and manage relationships that will impact homelessness. We would welcome applications from people with transferrable skills wanting a first step in the charity sector or those wanting to step up their experience in fundraising.
