Job description

About Red Sky Foundation 

We’re a Sunderland-born charity with a big heart and a national mission: saving lives and giving hope to children and families affected by heart conditions. From installing defibrillators in local communities to funding specialist equipment and care, we’re powered by people, partnerships and passion. 

We’ve built a strong presence in the North East – now we’re looking for someone who can strengthen our community connections and take our fundraising activity to the next level. 

Join Us at an Exciting Time of Growth! 

Are you a people person, passionate about building strong relationships and making a real difference in our local community? 

We’re looking for a warm, proactive and highly organised Community Fundraiser to strengthen the Red Sky Foundation team. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who thrives on connecting with people, supporting grassroots initiatives, and helping passionate individuals turn their energy into fundraising success. 

As our Community Fundraiser, you’ll be the first point of contact for individuals, schools and clubs who want to support Red Sky Foundation. You’ll nurture and guide fundraisers from their first idea through to celebrating their success – making sure they feel valued every step of the way. 

What You’ll Be Doing 

  • Building strong, lasting relationships with community event organisers and supporters. 

  • Managing the calendar of fundraising events, ensuring every supporter feels appreciated and supported. This will include attendance at some events so you must be comfortable working weekends and some evenings 

  • Managing inbound enquiries via phone, email and social media, providing professional and friendly responses. 

  • Following up with all community fundraisers post-event – thanking them and encouraging continued support. 

  • Networking across the North East to increase Red Sky Foundation’s visibility. 

  • All staff assist in planning and preparation of events and provide on-the-day support to ensure they run smoothly.
