About Oxfam

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to beat poverty for good. Around the globe, we work to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. Together we save lives and rebuild communities when disaster strikes. We also speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, climate change and discrimination against women. Oxfam Ireland is one of 20 independent affiliates working as one in more than 90 countries.

OUR VISION IS A JUST WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY

At Oxfam Ireland, we work with people affected by poverty and injustice, supporting their empowerment to exercise their human rights and take control of their lives. Supported by people across the island of Ireland for over 60 years, we are an independent, secular and not-for-profit organisation.

We have shops across the island of Ireland, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and 1,500 volunteers who are delivering real change to the lives of people affected by poverty. From our volunteers in Dublin and shops in Down to our programme teams and our partners all over the world, we work together with resilient people to achieve our vision of a just world without poverty.

People like the child who wants to go to school; the mother who needs healthcare for her baby; the farmer who sees climate change wipe out his crops and livestock; the women whose voices need to be heard in the decision-making process; the young people whose lives could be transformed with business training, the family that has lost everything in a natural disaster.

We respond to humanitarian emergencies around the world – wherever they happen. We help people to help themselves and build a brighter future through our long-term projects. We campaign nationally and internationally on issues ranging from the arms trade to women’s rights, inequality and climate change.

Last year, Oxfam Ireland reached over 8 million people; affecting positive change in their lives. We believe in a world where people can influence decisions that affect their lives, enjoy their rights and assume their responsibilities as full citizens of a world in which all human beings are valued and treated equally.

Everyone has a right to realise their potential, and to live free of poverty in a secure and more equitable world. We believe that with the necessary action and political will, this world is possible. People have a right to life and security; to a sustainable livelihood; to be heard; to have an identity, and to have access to basic social services.

We seek a positive, creative and determined individual to lead our Trusts & Foundations fundraising. You will be joining an ambitious, award-winning charity at an exciting time and play a vital part in delivering our mission to transform lives through cycling.

The Fundraising Officer will bring in grants to grow two key areas of our work:

1)  Our Inclusive Cycling Projects:

• Silver Cyclists enables older people to keep active and healthy as they age
• Bike Generation uses cycling and bikes to help young people in disadvantaged inner-city communities get active and broaden their horizons.
• Bike Minded helps people affected by mental health issues improve their wellbeing
• Two’s Company helps blind & visually-impaired people cycle on the back of tandems:

“Before I got involved, I had fallen into the trap many blind people get into: I had let my disability become a barrier to me enjoying life. It has been empowering to meet other people, visually impaired and sighted, in a social environment. Two’s Company has been the gateway for me to enter a better life after sight loss” - Steve, tandem ‘back rider’

2)  Our Bike Recycling initiatives: 

We divert broken bicycles from landfill and teach prisoners the skills to fix them. Prisoners get out of their cells and qualify as City & Guilds accredited cycle mechanics, fixed bikes are sold to local people at affordable prices to tackle transport poverty. This work won:

• Best Bike Recycling Project Energy Innovator Awards 2019
• Prison Reform Trust Robin Corbett Award for Prisoner Re-integration 2017
• National Lottery Awards, Finalist 2016
