Who we are and why we are needed
The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems. Each year we provide funding and skills to the best grassroots charities and social enterprises in the UK and we are growing.
Across the UK, talented people within communities are building practical solutions to our most complex challenges – from poverty and mental health to education, exclusion and sustainability. However, the vast majority of these solutions do not achieve their potential to drive wider change across society because of failures in how the funding system works.
The Fore is the UK’s only venture philanthropy fund that has cracked the code in how to identify and distribute funding to turbocharge grassroots innovation and catalyse change. Since 2017, The Fore has been backing the best small charities and social enterprises with astonishing results. So far over 50% of local organisations supported eight years ago have gone on to influence policy, shape national conversations and change lives at scale.
Currently The Fore is funding around 50 of the best charities per year and supporting hundreds of others with skills. However, as an organisation we need to do more. We are looking to scale our impact through two routes. Firstly, by increasing our work backing the best charities and convening and educating donors, and secondly by leading change in the broader funding system.
The role
In the next phase of The Fore’s development, it is a priority for the CEO to be able to concentrate on building the external profile and influence of The Fore’s work. Therefore, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) will play a central role in leadership as the organisation develops. The role translates strategy into delivery, providing oversight across grant making, partnerships, people, and governance, and ensuring the organisation can deliver on its ambitions while managing risk and capacity. We’re a small, agile charity so you’ll work across both high-level direction and day-to-day organisational delivery. In the next eighteen months, the COO will have responsibility for designing and delivering on a number of key strategic priorities, such as:
Key responsibilities
Grant making and programme delivery
Partnerships and income
Impact, data and systems
People and internal operations
Governance, compliance, risk and finance
Experience and attributes

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men.

To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

We are looking for a confident leader with a strong track record in international development, grant fundraising, and stakeholder management, alongside the ability to translate strategy into delivery.
We improve the lives of seafarers and fishers through our network of local chaplains and seafarer centres, expert information, advocacy, and support.



We are an established and well-regarded local charity, providing crisis support and ongoing counselling to young people experiencing mental health challenges in the London borough of Richmond. We are looking for someone to join our friendly and supportive team, who can bring energy and commitment to build on our charity's well-established income streams, to identify, secure and nurture new funding opportunites and to contribute to exciting developments already underway. With autonomy to shape and grow your own fundraising portfolio, we also offer flexible working arrangements (home/office-based).
As a Community Fundraiser working locally, you'll have living and/or working knowledge of the London Borough of Richmond in order to develop and manage successful fundraising relationships with local businesses and community groups, build and nurture a network of local philanthropists and individual donors and plan and deliver fundraising activities at local fairs, events, and community initiatives.
Your strong communication and interpersonal skills will be invaluable when recruiting, motivating and managing volunteers to support fundraising activities and in delivering high-quality stewardship to supporters, maintaining regular contact through updates, thank you letters, and calls.
The ability to work independently and manage your own workload is key; you will also work closely with the Business Manager to support an established grant fundraising portfolio, assisting with bid-writing and deputising when the Business Manager is away.
Whilst direct fundraising experience is strongly preferred, you may have transferable skills from project, event or client management roles. You'll have experience using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint; experience using Canva or a similar design programme would be beneficial but is not essential.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
