Individual Giving is a key growth area for Crohn’s & Colitis UK, and this role is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and ambitious manager to develop and lead the Individual Giving strategy.

The postholder will be instrumental in ensuring we stay innovative and creative, explore and exploit multichannel opportunities, develop and deliver motivating appeals and generate engaging content to encourage donations. 

The Future

It’s safe to say all our lives have changed since the start of the pandemic and Crohn’s & Colitis UK had to adapt and change as well. But as we come through this, the charity has taken great steps to ensure that we can continue to provide support and services for people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.

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.
