We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space.

Join a small charity where your ideas and fundraising work can make a visible difference.

We are looking for a Fundraising Officer with strong fundraising fundamentals, curiosity, creativity and a willingness to experiment. At a time when the charity sector and the wider world are changing quickly, we want someone who can look beyond familiar approaches, spot opportunities others might miss and turn new ideas into practical action.

ABOUT DISABILITY AFRICA

Disability Africa works in partnership with locally led organisations in The Gambia, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Eswatini. Together, we create opportunities for disabled children and young people to participate in community life on an equal basis, while working to change attitudes and challenge the exclusion they face.

At the heart of this work are community-based play hubs, led by our partners, where disabled children and young people play alongside their peers, build relationships and become more connected to their communities.

Our work is grounded in the Social Model of Disability. We focus on removing the social and attitudinal barriers that exclude disabled children and young people, and we reject pity-based approaches to fundraising and communication.

We are also conscious of the colonial power structures that continue to shape the international development sector. We work actively to challenge them by building long-term partnerships in which local organisations lead how our approach is shaped and put into practice in their own communities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will help generate the income that sustains and develops our work, joining a small, collaborative team and working closely with the Executive Director, colleagues and volunteers. The role offers considerable variety and the opportunity to develop your fundraising experience across several income streams.

You will research opportunities, prepare strong funding applications and donor reports, maintain our fundraising pipeline and CRM, and help build relationships with funders and supporters. You will also contribute to campaigns and help us explore new audiences and fundraising approaches.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Research funding opportunities across trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, individual giving and other relevant sources.

• Prepare and submit clear, persuasive applications, proposals and funding requests.

• Maintain an accurate pipeline of prospective and existing funders and manage timely follow-up and repeat applications.

• Build positive relationships with donors, funders, corporate partners and prospective supporters.

• Produce clear donor reports that demonstrate impact and financial accountability.

• Maintain accurate information in our fundraising CRM and use data to help inform priorities.

• Contribute to fundraising campaigns, donor communications and materials in collaboration with colleagues and volunteers.

• Support the development and testing of new fundraising opportunities and approaches.

ABOUT YOU

You do not need to have worked across every area listed above. We are looking for someone with a sound grounding in fundraising, strong writing and research skills, and the confidence to develop relationships with different people and organisations.

• Experience of fundraising in a charity, non-profit or comparable organisation.

• Strong research, writing and proposal-development skills.

• The confidence to approach and build relationships with donors and prospective supporters.

• Good analytical and numerical skills, with confidence working with data and budgets.

• Experience using a CRM or donor database (we use Salesforce).

• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several priorities.

• Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to test new ideas.

• Alignment with Disability Africa’s ethos and the Social Model of Disability, including our partnership-based approach, an awareness of the colonial dynamics that continue to shape the sector, and a rejection of pity-based charity narratives.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A four-day working week, with 28 hours worked from Monday to Thursday.

• A 12-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension.

• Hybrid working, with two days per week in our Staines office, a three-minute walk from Staines station and less than 30 minutes by train from central London.

• Twenty working days of annual leave, equivalent to five full working weeks, plus the Christmas closure period.

• The opportunity to shape and develop fundraising work within a small organisation.

• A collaborative working environment with close contact across our UK team and African partners.

The Belay Foundation supports adoptive, kinship and special guardianship families raising children who have experienced early developmental trauma, often alongside neurodiversity. Founded in 2020 from lived experience, Belay offers something many families struggle to find elsewhere: practical, in-home support and expert guidance that’s genuinely trauma-responsive, delivered by people who understand what these families are living through.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us at a pivotal stage in our development. Over the past year, we have strengthened our services, systems and organisational foundations and developed ambitious plans for the future. As we continue to grow our reach and impact, we're looking for a Services Manager to organise and deliver our services such as guidance on trauma responsive respite and disability benefit expertise to our families.

Working closely with our Services Director, you'll use your lived or professional experience of our adoptive and kinship families to develop and deliver valued, practical and trauma-responsive support to families across England and Wales. This is key role, working directly with parents and carers, and an opportunity to really make a difference in our families’ lives.

This is a home-based role for two days per week (0.4 FTE), offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to shape a growing national charity. There may be potential to increase the hours over time, subject to funding, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to grow with the organisation. This is a home‑based role, but applicants must be permanently based, and have the right to work, in the United Kingdom. For legal, tax, and operational reasons, we cannot consider applications from outside the UK.

If you're someone passionate about making a difference to adoptive and kinship families with the experience of delivering family support, we'd love to hear from you.

Please see the Candidate Application Pack for further details, including the full job description, candidate requirements and the application/ interview process. Please note that we reserve the right to close applications one week early should we receive a very high number of candidates.

At The Roses Theatre, we believe that great theatre can transform lives, strengthen communities and create opportunities for people of all backgrounds to connect, participate and thrive. As a charity, accessibility, creativity, inclusion and community impact are at the heart of everything we do.

We're looking for a Development Manager (or Fundraising Manager)to help grow fundraising income, strengthen supporter relationships and secure investment in our artistic, participation and community programmes.

Working closely with the CEO, trustees, Marketing Manager and colleagues across the organisation, you'll lead our individual giving and donor development activity while helping to grow support from trusts, foundations, corporate partners and major supporters. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious fundraising professional looking to take the next step in their development career.

Whether you're currently working as a Development Officer, Fundraising Officer or Development Executive, or you've built experience in individual giving, corporate fundraising or trusts and foundations fundraising, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your skills and make a significant impact within a supportive and ambitious organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, steward and maintain strong relationships with supporters, donors and corporate partners.
• Research, develop and manage applications to trusts and foundations.
• Identify and develop new fundraising opportunities and income streams.

We definitely don't expect you will have experience in all areas of fundraising - though it's a bonus if you do!

If you're motivated by helping a charity deliver creative, community-focused work and want to play a key role in shaping the future of a thriving regional theatre, we'd love to hear from you.
