Individual and community fundraising manager jobs near Manchester, Greater Manchester
About The Bike Project
We provide an innovative solution to one of the most pressing problems facing asylum seekers and refugees on arrival to the UK: access to transport when living on a limited income, which for asylum seekers is as little as £5.66 per day.
Our mission is simple: each year we match refugees and asylum seekers with the many thousands of bikes that go abandoned or unloved around the country. We then go on to support these new bike owners to realise the emotional, practical and physical benefits of cycling.
10 years since that first bike donation, we are about to donate our 10, 000th bike and have expanded the project to include multiple programs, from refugee befriending services to women-only cycling classes.
We have supported tens of thousands of refugees to get access to bikes, learn to cycle and created a community of colleagues, refugees, volunteers and supporters. And we’ve grown rapidly in the last few years, from £720k turnover in 2018, to £2.2m turnover in 2021.
Despite our successes, this is just the start. The demand from refugees for our work far outstrips our ability to meet it so we are looking to continue to grow until every refugee in the UK has the opportunity to start cycling.
If you want to be a part of that, read on!

We are dedicated to supporting the individuals and communities served by the social housing sector.
In just five years, and fuelled by the challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic and now the cost of living crisis, we have seen a 5000% (yes, that’s true!) increase in the funding distributed via our Individual Grants Programme. To help us continue to provide a great service to social housing residents and those who support them, we have an exciting opportunity, due to maternity leave, for someone to join us for a 12-month period, in the role of Individual Grants Officer.
Our Individual Grants provide a practical, short-term form of support for individuals and families that are experiencing severe financial distress. The grants give people a space to breathe from their situations and help people as they rebuild their lives without having to take on high-interest and problematic debt or go without very basic and essential items.
We provide grants to individuals and families that includes those needing to relocate and start again after leaving abusive relationships; for those moving from homeless or supported living into their own home; for those with a diagnosed condition or disability; or for people who have lost possessions due to floods, storms or crime.
As with all the Longleigh Team, this role will be home-based. The person we appoint to this role will need to be able to work productively from home and have reliable internet access. We will provide all equipment for the role. Some travel will be required but good advance notice will always be given.
