We invest early. We back ambition. We bring together partners, supporters and alumni to provide financial help, trusted guidance and belief—particularly at the moments when staying in sport becomes hardest.
For five decades, we have stood alongside athletes when success was uncertain and outcomes were unknown. Today, our ambition goes further.
We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That's why we're strengthening support for athletes and families, amplifying athlete voices, building lifelong communities of athletes and alumni, and working with partners to create a sporting system where potential—not background—shapes opportunity.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a community fundraising role.
You'll lead the development of SportsAid's Community Fundraising & Engagement programme at a pivotal moment in our history, helping shape the future of one of the UK's most respected sports charities.

About You
You're someone who enjoys creating as much as delivering.
You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and know that exceptional fundraising is built on exceptional relationships.

· Experience leading people, developing strategy and delivering results.
