This role helps to drive a renewed and strategic energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give up to six figures.

There are already a number of high-profile events in the pipeline for next year, thanks to an engaged trustee board, including a flagship, annual HNWI sport event and a large fundraising dinner led by a high profile celebrity.

• a creative fundraiser, well versed in securing six figure gifts
• an externally focused relationship builder, generating new income by engaging new funders and developing excellent proposals, whilst working to develop an already robust portfolio of fundraising collateral
