The Centre for Ageing Better is an independent centre of excellence on ageing and demographic change. We work with national and local government, industries, businesses and community organisations to improve how people experience ageing. Our work focuses on creating better workplaces, homes and communities, while tackling ageism and addressing inequality in later life.

What we do is extraordinary.
And we need a Head of Fundraising who understands all of that.
Let’s start with the obvious.
You’ll need a sense of humour for this job.
Because we work with animals and children — and both have a habit of humbling you, daily.
HorseWorld Trust rescues abused and neglected horses and gives them a second chance at a meaningful life. Some of those horses go on to support vulnerable children and young people — including those with SEMH needs, SEND and children in care — through our Discovery – Discover Horses, Discover Yourself™ programme.
What we do is extraordinary.
It is also muddy, unpredictable, emotional, joyful, heartbreaking, funny and deeply human.
About HorseWorld (the real version)
Horses are incredible animals. They’ve carried humans into war; it’s no wonder they can read exactly what a child needs, often before the child knows it themselves.
Sadly, some people still abuse and neglect them. That’s where the HorseWorld hug comes in. With us, horses are safe. They live out all year round, form herds, roll in the mud, escape occasionally (because… horses), and get to live like horses again.
Our 160-acre farm is minutes from Bristol and Bath, but feels like a different world. In winter, photoshoots and tours involve waterproofs and wellies. In summer, it’s an outdoor oasis.
We do serious work — and we also believe in joy:
· Horse Festivals
· Carol services
· Massive corporates on their knees pulling ragwort
We are kind, committed, slightly irreverent, and very proud of what we do.
Why this role exists (the honest bit)
We raise around £1.5m a year against operating costs of around £2.5m.
Fundraising needs to grow — but more importantly, it needs to work better.
This role exists to:
- grow sustainable, controllable income
- improve return on investment (ROI)
- focus on what actually delivers impact
- stop doing things that don’t (even if they’re well-loved)
You won’t be expected to perform miracles.
You will be expected to bring clarity, judgement and leadership — with empathy and humour intact.
The role (what you’ll actually do)
As Head of Fundraising & Communications, you will:
- Sit on the Senior Management Team and report to the CEO
- Lead all fundraising and marketing comms activity
- Take responsibility for income and cost-effectiveness
- Shape strategy, set priorities and make evidence-based decisions
- Personally steward a small number of key major donors and partners
You’ll lead a talented team covering:
· Individual Giving
· Major Donors & Philanthropy
· Corporate Partnerships
· Trusts & Grants
· Digital Content
- Data, CRM & Compliance
You’ll also work closely with our Heads of Equine Welfare and Discovery to fundraise for our work with vulnerable horses & children.
Who this role is for
You’ll probably thrive here if you:
· Are an experienced charity fundraiser who’s seen how things really work
· Understand that “more activity” is not the same as “more impact”
· Care about ROI and relationships
· Can make tough decisions without losing kindness
· Are both proactive and adaptable
· A great communicator and relationship builder
· Are comfortable talking to Trustees one minute and standing in a muddy field the next
· Can laugh when a horse wanders into a carefully planned moment (because it will)
You don’t need to be an equine expert — but you do need to like animals, people, and the beautiful messiness of both.
What we offer
· A genuinely senior SMT role with real authority and Board backing
· Space to think, not just react
· A values-led organisation that tells the truth
· A team that works hard, laughs often and cares deeply
- Horses who will keep you grounded (sometimes literally)
Final thought
This is not a polished, corporate fundraising role.
It is a meaningful one — rooted in rescue, recovery, growth and second chances.
If you want to lead fundraising in a place where the work matters, the people are lovely, the horses are honest, and humour is not optional — we’d love to hear from you.
Key Details
Salary: £50,000 per annum depending on experience plus benefits
Hours: 35 per week (Mon–Fri, some weekends)
Location: HorseWorld Trust, Bristol
Reports to: CEO
DBS required

Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting the recruitment of a Lawyer (UK Financial Sector Focus) on behalf of the Commonwealth Climate and Law Initiative (CCLI). CCLI is a UK charity working at the intersection of law, finance and sustainability, with a global reputation for producing rigorous legal analysis that helps clarify how existing legal frameworks apply to climate and nature-related financial risks. This newly created role will play a key part in shaping CCLI’s expanding programme of work on investor fiduciary duties across the UK financial sector.
The postholder will lead the development and delivery of CCLI’s UK investor fiduciary workstream, initially focusing on the insurance, pensions and banking sectors. This will involve scoping and commissioning authoritative legal analysis from leading commercial law firms and academics, translating complex legal findings into practical guidance for boards, trustees and their advisers, and tracking relevant regulatory and disclosure developments across the financial services landscape. The role involves building and maintaining relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, including institutional investors, regulators, professional bodies, and the legal community, as well as representing CCLI at conferences, roundtables and other external forums. Working closely with the Executive Director within a small and collaborative team, the successful candidate will also contribute to communications, strategic development and fundraising activity.
We are looking for a qualified solicitor or barrister in England and Wales with strong expertise in financial services law, ideally in insurance, banking, or pensions. Candidates should be able to demonstrate clear engagement with climate change or environmental sustainability, whether through their professional work, research, writing, pro bono activity, or other initiatives that connect legal practice with climate- and nature-related financial risks. To be successful, you need to bring a deep understanding of how financial institutions are structured and regulated, alongside a demonstrable commitment to addressing climate and nature-related financial risks through legal and governance frameworks. You will be a confident communicator, confident and effective in public speaking, with the ability to represent the organisation at conferences, roundtables and stakeholder events, and to communicate complex legal ideas clearly to diverse audiences. This role would suit a self-starter who is comfortable working with a high degree of ownership in a small, purpose-driven organisation and who is motivated by the opportunity to apply their legal expertise to drive meaningful change.
To apply, please submit your up-to-date CV by 24 May at 23:59 AM. Shortlisted candidates will then be asked to provide a tailored cover letter.
Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.
