About The Connection at St Martin’s
No one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets and everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
This is an exciting time for The Connection. Although rough sleeping is increasing on our streets, we believe we have the solutions. To meet the growing need for our help, we need to secure more resources. We are planning a new fundraising strategy so that we can save lives, work more closely with health services and get more people into long term accommodation.
About the Role
To achieve this, we are looking for more fundraising expertise at Board level. We are looking for a senior fundraising professional to join our active and skilled board. Ideally you are a Fundraising Director working in a successful medium to large charity, with strong knowledge of highly effective, innovative fundraising teams. You will guide us to get the best from the resources we put in and steer further investment to support ambitious growth.
We have a particular interest in major donor and corporate fundraising as these are areas where we have the opportunities for growth. We are also keen to build relationships with senior leaders at funder organisations and encourage them to act as ambassadors to promote our cause.
The Connection has very strong brand recognition for our size due to our location in the centre of London and our long standing relationship with the BBC through the Radio 4 Christmas Appeal. Help us with our step change in fundraising so that we can make a huge difference to people sleeping rough on our streets.

betterSoil is a sustainable start-up and a movement that is passionately committed to the health of our earth's soil.
We are currently losing around 10 million hectares of fertile soil worldwide. That's about 14 million football pitches. However, good soils are the source of more than 90% of our food. At the same time, the world's population will grow to 10 billion people by 2050. Food will therefore become scarce, especially high-quality food, as this depends on the quality of the soil. The effects of climate change are worsening the situation of soils because droughts and extreme rainfall are becoming more severe and more frequent. Current farming methods lead to high CO2 emissions, diseased soils produce low-quality food and biodiversity is rapidly declining, as around half of biodiversity lives in the soil.
Since 2020, betterSoil has been involved at European level, e.g. with an event with the EU Parliament and prominent supporters such as Prof. Dr Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, Dr Franz Fischler (Former EU Commissioner for Agriculture) and Dr Peter Johnston (European Policy Centre) in a national and international context to improve soil quality for climate resilience and climate protection as well as the promotion of biodiversity and sustainable food production. Our way of working goes far beyond soil consulting. We combine local, indigenous knowledge with the latest science and offer practice-orientated betterSoil recipes for farmers. We also offer individual consultations for companies and organisations of all kinds. In this way, we create a comprehensive awareness of soil health that helps to position

• Passion for sustainability, agriculture, or climate action (no need to be a soil expert, but a basic understanding of the topic and a genuine interest in learning more are essential.
• Experience with newsletters, blogging, or content management
• Creativity, reliability, and the ability to work independently in a remote team.
What You’ll Gain
• Be part of an international, mission-driven team reimagining soil as the foundation of a sustainable future.
• Build a portfolio of published content on climate and agriculture.
• Learn about soil, regenerative agriculture, and sustainability strategies.
