Help tackle loneliness among older people in care homes
Thousands of older people living in care homes receive few or no visitors. Friends for Life Bedfordshire exists to change that.
Through our befriending and group activities, we bring companionship, connection and meaningful relationships to care home residents across Bedford and the surrounding area.
We are now looking for a Fundraiser to help secure and grow the income that makes this work possible.
About Friends for Life Bedfordshire
We are a Bedford-based charity working to address the social isolation of older residents in Bedfordshire’s care homes.

This is a pivotal role for the charity. It is key to the delivery of our business plan and growth aspirations.
You will take ownership of fundraising and income generation, ensuring we have the resources to sustain and grow our impact.
You will lead on grant fundraising whilst also developing community and individual giving, and delivering engaging fundraising events.
This is a hands-on role in a small organisation, so you will have real ownership and visibility. You will shape our fundraising strategy and directly influence how many residents we can reach.
This role is suited to someone who is both strategic and practical — someone who can develop the fundraising strategy and the plan to deliver this, but is equally comfortable writing applications, building relationships and making things happen.

- Work with Marketing, Partnerships & Activities Lead to promote events through social media and marketing platforms
- Ensure events are engaging, effective and financially successful
- Evaluate performance and improve future activity
Strategy, Compliance & Reporting
- Develop and deliver a clear fundraising strategy aligned to organisational goals
- Track performance against targets and provide insight
- Ensure all fundraising is compliant with regulations and best practice
- Represent the charity externally with confidence and credibility
About You
We are looking for someone who can take ownership of fundraising and produce results in a small, resource-constrained environment.
You will likely bring:
- Experience developing or contributing to a fundraising strategy
- Proven experience in fundraising, with a track record of generating income
- Strong experience in writing successful grant applications
- Experience of developing and growing income from community fundraising initiatives (e.g. partnerships, volunteer-led activities, individuals and events)
- Ability to build and manage relationships with funders, donors or partners
- Strong written communication skills — able to create compelling cases for support
- Ability to work independently, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines
- A proactive, resourceful approach — you don’t wait to be told what to do
- Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on delivery
What We Offer
- £16.79 per hour (£18,334 per year for 21 hours per week)
- Employer pension
- Flexible and hybrid working
- A supportive and passionate team of staff, volunteers and trustees
- The chance to transform the lives of care home residents every single week

Chief Executive, Cavernoma Alliance UK
Home-based within the UK
28 hours (including some evening and occasional weekend work)
Actual salary: £35,840 to £38,079
Equivalent full-time salary: £48,000 to £51,000
Cavernoma Alliance UK is a well-established UK charity supporting people affected by cavernoma, a rare condition involving clusters of abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord.
Founded in 2005 by people with lived experience of cavernoma, we provide peer support, trusted information, awareness raising and research advocacy for the cavernoma community. We also work closely with leading neurologists, neurosurgeons and researchers across the UK to help improve clinical care, information and research for people affected.
We are now looking for a new Chief Executive to lead and be an ambassador for the work of CAUK. This is a meaningful and varied role in a small charity where your contribution will be visible. It would suit someone looking for a senior charity role with real purpose, flexibility and a close connection to the community they support.
You will be joining an organisation with a supportive Board of Trustees, a staff team that cares deeply about the community we serve, highly committed volunteers, and strong clinical and research partnerships.
We are in the second year of our five-year strategy, ‘Together For a Cure - 2025 to 2030’, and are making good progress across our priorities. The current Chief Executive is leaving after three and a half years in post to take up a new opportunity, and the charity is in a positive and stable position.
A major focus for the role over the coming years will be supporting delivery of a five-year UK-wide clinical trial starting in August 2026. This study could potentially identify the first medication treatment for cavernoma.
Alongside this, the role will focus on maintaining sustainable income, supporting high quality peer-led services through our Head of Volunteering and Member Services and volunteer team, and continuing to grow CAUK’s reach and awareness, particularly online.
We would particularly welcome applications from people with previous charity management experience, whether within a small charity or in a more senior role within a larger organisation. We are also open to applicants who can demonstrate a strong understanding of the charity sector through trustee, professional or voluntary experience.
This is a home-based role with flexibility, although there will be occasional travel across the UK, typically every 1 to 2 months, including meetings in London.
If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, we would be happy to arrange this with the current Chief Executive and/or Chair of Trustees.
Key dates
Applications open: 27 May 2026
Closing date: 9am, 22 June 2026
Stage 1 interviews will be held virtually during the last week of June.
