Where you'll be working
At over 200 acres, Crystal Palace Park is far larger than most urban parks. Beloved as a ‘back garden’ to many people in the surrounding neighbourhoods, it is also of national and international significance due to its design as the grounds to the Victorian architectural masterpiece, The Crystal Palace, and its rich, unique heritage, including the 170-year-old world-famous Dinosaurs.
Today, circa one million people visit the park every year; to relax and meet friends and family, take part in sports and physical exercise, enjoy world-class acts during summer festivals, or simply have a moment of peace and enjoyment of nature.
In September 2023, after 25 years of community campaigning, Crystal Palace Park Trust took over custodianship of this historic landscape and its unique venues via a 125-year lease from the London Borough of Bromley. We are now working closely with a wide-range of partners to deliver a multi-million-pound regeneration and restoration project that will save the park's globally unique heritage and drive a 35% increase in annual visitor numbers.

YMCA is the oldest and largest youth charity in the world.

In England & Wales, YMCA is made up of 83 independent local organisations supported by YMCA England & Wales, our national body which helps develop national programmes and represents our work with government and key stakeholders.
We are now looking for a Fundraising Data Insights Officer (FDIO) to join our Data Insights & Supporter Experience team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves turning data into insight and wants their work to make a meaningful difference for young people and communities across the country.
About the role
The FDIO will take the lead in developing the reports, dashboards and insight that directly support fundraising growth.
