About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead and grow a new challenge events programme, as well as plan and execute key flagship events for Cherry Trees. You’ll work closely with the Community and Partnerships team and the Head of Fundraising and Communications to increase participation in these areas and maximise the profitability of our bespoke events.

You will be responsible for shaping a new events strategy, inspiring supporters, and driving sustainable income. You’ll manage third-party and key bespoke events, build supporter journeys, and create engaging content, with the support of our Communications team, to grow participation and loyalty. Working closely with the wider team, you’ll bring fresh ideas, test new concepts, and deliver high-quality events that raise both funds and our profile.

About You

With experience in fundraising and events, and a passion for participation challenge events, you will be a highly motivated and organised professional who communicates confidently across all channels and engages effectively with a range of stakeholders.

Conscientious and relationship-focused, with an eye for detail, you will bring a personal touch to deliver outstanding fundraiser experiences that encourage supporters to return and inspire others to take part.

Cherry Trees has ambitious plans to support more children and families, so we are looking for someone with enthusiasm and passion for our work, and a strong commitment to growing our supporter base and income.
