About Brighton Table Tennis Club

Brighton Table Tennis Club is the UK’s first Club of Sanctuary and a national leader in community‑led sport. We believe table tennis is a powerful tool for connection, confidence, and social change. Every week, we work with hundreds of people across Brighton & Hove — from young people in care to adults with learning disabilities, unaccompanied asylum‑seeking children, older people, and everyone in between.

We are now looking for a Philanthropy Manager to help us grow the resources we need to keep this work thriving.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in philanthropy giving, fundraising, grant management, or community investment

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• Confidence building relationships with a wide range of people

• Strong organisational and project management skills

• Understanding of the charity sector and community‑led approaches

• A genuine commitment to BTTC’s values of inclusion, equality, and empowerment
