We ensure that everyone affected by MSA has access to tailored information and support to guide them, and are not alone in their journey.

Can you help? We need a dynamic and committed Trusts and Corporates’ Fundraising Officer who is interested in helping us to realise our ambitions to increase our funding to enable the development of further services for people living with MSA. You will be a fundraiser with a great track record of raising funds through Trusts and Corporates.
We are a small charity, so someone who is prepared to roll up their sleeves and get involved would be just the right candidate.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, fun and innovative Events and Community Fundraising Officer who will continue developing the Trust’s events calendar and cultivate long term relationships with our community fundraisers.
