Who are Guts UK Charity?
Guts UK Charity is committed to a world where digestive conditions are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Too many people are suffering or dying in silence or alone. They don’t know where to turn for information or support, diagnosis takes too long for many, and treatment can often come too late.
We are the only UK charity that covers the entire digestive system. We raise vital awareness of digestive conditions, fund life-saving research, and provide patients and loved ones with expert information and support – we are informed by evidence and expertise, our community, and the patient voice.
Our mission is simple: to improve the lives of millions of people affected by digestive conditions

You will be expected to take ownership, develop new ideas, use data and insight to inform decisions, and turn opportunities into practical fundraising activity.

You will have the opportunity to build on this foundation, developing new fundraising products, audiences and partnerships and improving the supporter experience.
We're hoping to find an experienced events and community fundraiser who can take the lead on their own portfolio, build strong relationships and enjoys working collaboratively in a small, fast-paced charity.

Join a small charity where your ideas and fundraising work can make a visible difference.

At a time when the charity sector and the wider world are changing quickly, we want someone who can look beyond familiar approaches, spot opportunities others might miss and turn new ideas into practical action.
ABOUT DISABILITY AFRICA
Disability Africa works in partnership with locally led organisations in The Gambia, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Eswatini. Together, we create opportunities for disabled children and young people to participate in community life on an equal basis, while working to change attitudes and challenge the exclusion they face.
At the heart of this work are community-based play hubs, led by our partners, where disabled children and young people play alongside their peers, build relationships and become more connected to their communities.
Our work is grounded in the Social Model of Disability. We focus on removing the social and attitudinal barriers that exclude disabled children and young people, and we reject pity-based approaches to fundraising and communication.
We are also conscious of the colonial power structures that continue to shape the international development sector. We work actively to challenge them by building long-term partnerships in which local organisations lead how our approach is shaped and put into practice in their own communities.
ABOUT THE ROLE
You will help generate the income that sustains and develops our work, joining a small, collaborative team and working closely with the Executive Director, colleagues and volunteers. The role offers considerable variety and the opportunity to develop your fundraising experience across several income streams.
You will research opportunities, prepare strong funding applications and donor reports, maintain our fundraising pipeline and CRM, and help build relationships with funders and supporters. You will also contribute to campaigns and help us explore new audiences and fundraising approaches.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Research funding opportunities across trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, individual giving and other relevant sources.
• Prepare and submit clear, persuasive applications, proposals and funding requests.
• Maintain an accurate pipeline of prospective and existing funders and manage timely follow-up and repeat applications.
• Build positive relationships with donors, funders, corporate partners and prospective supporters.
• Produce clear donor reports that demonstrate impact and financial accountability.
• Maintain accurate information in our fundraising CRM and use data to help inform priorities.
• Contribute to fundraising campaigns, donor communications and materials in collaboration with colleagues and volunteers.
• Support the development and testing of new fundraising opportunities and approaches.
ABOUT YOU
You do not need to have worked across every area listed above. We are looking for someone with a sound grounding in fundraising, strong writing and research skills, and the confidence to develop relationships with different people and organisations.
• Experience of fundraising in a charity, non-profit or comparable organisation.
• Strong research, writing and proposal-development skills.
• The confidence to approach and build relationships with donors and prospective supporters.
• Good analytical and numerical skills, with confidence working with data and budgets.
• Experience using a CRM or donor database (we use Salesforce).
• Strong organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several priorities.
• Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to test new ideas.
• Alignment with Disability Africa’s ethos and the Social Model of Disability, including our partnership-based approach, an awareness of the colonial dynamics that continue to shape the sector, and a rejection of pity-based charity narratives.
WHAT WE OFFER
• A four-day working week, with 28 hours worked from Monday to Thursday.
• A 12-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility of extension.
• Hybrid working, with two days per week in our Staines office, a three-minute walk from Staines station and less than 30 minutes by train from central London.
• Twenty working days of annual leave, equivalent to five full working weeks, plus the Christmas closure period.
• The opportunity to shape and develop fundraising work within a small organisation.
• A collaborative working environment with close contact across our UK team and African partners.
HOW TO APPLY
Please submit your CV and a supporting statement of no more than 750 words through CharityJob. Your statement should explain why you are interested in the role, what you believe you would bring to it, and, through relevant examples, how your experience meets the person specification.
Applications close at 11.59 pm on Monday 19 October 2026. First interviews are expected to take place on 26 or 27 October, with second interviews during the week beginning 2 November.
WHO WE ENCOURAGE TO APPLY
We want to hear from people who are excited by this role and share our values, including people who are often excluded from opportunities in the charity sector. We especially encourage applications from disabled people and from people with personal or professional connections to the countries where our partners work.
If there is anything we can change in the recruitment process to make it more accessible to you, please let us know.
We are sorry that we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role: the terms of the role do not meet the current sponsorship requirements. Applicants will therefore need to already have the right to work in the UK.
We expect to receive many strong applications. And much like when applying to trusts, foundations or approaching corporate partners, finding a way to stand out among many good proposals is part of the job. So this is a great opportunity to show us how you would do that.
Please use your cover letter as a supporting statement of no more than 750 words. It should explain why you are interested in the role, what you believe you would bring to it and, through relevant examples, how your experience meets the person specification.
