About Open Age:

Open Age was established in 1993 and we’re now celebrating over 25 years of championing an active life for older people. Each week we run over 380 different activities for older people from our own three centres and over 60 other community venues. From boxing to ballet, baking to blogging - Open Age’s array of activities improve the physical and mental wellbeing of our members, and in doing so address the issue of loneliness and isolation among older people.

Open Age has historically earnt its income from providing services to local authorities and local health boards in a highly defined part of West London. But with growing demand – as a direct result of an aging population and because its services are so popular - Open Age now needs to seek funding from more diverse income streams and is recruiting two new part-time fundraising roles.

Candidates will be keen to join a lively team of similarly caring and committed people who enjoy working at a community-level and providing an outstanding, life-changing service.

The post-holder will:

• give donors and fundraisers outstanding care whilst supporting their fundraising efforts;
• motivate donors and fundraisers and engage with them warmly and efficiently;
• inform supporters regularly how their money is making a difference and changing lives;
• help to retain supporters via committed gifts or new and different fundraising techniques.
