About the role

The role of Membership and Fundraising Manager at Crystal Palace Park Trust offers an exciting opportunity for a creative and dynamic fundraising professional to join a young and ambitious charity at a pivotal moment in its development.

You will be able to develop and deliver creative and compelling fundraising and membership campaigns to meet objectives including:

• Developing and promoting opportunities for visitors and local residents to get involved in caring for this unique landscape via membership and philanthropic giving;
• Supporting income generation as part of the Trust’s remit to deliver an innovative new business model to underpin a sustainable and vibrant future for this unique, historic landscape; and
• Providing a high level of relationship management to donors whether grant-giving bodies, major donors or corporate partners.

Where you’ll be working

At over 200 acres, Crystal Palace Park is far larger than most urban parks. Beloved as a ‘back garden’ to many people in the surrounding neighbourhoods, it is also of national and international significance due to its design as the grounds to the Victorian architectural masterpiece, The Crystal Palace, and its rich, unique heritage, including the 170-year-old world-famous Dinosaurs.

Today, circa one million people visit the park every year; to relax and meet friends and family, take part in sports and physical exercise, enjoy world-class acts during summer festivals, or simply have a moment of peace and enjoyment of nature.

In September 2023, after 25 years of community campaigning, Crystal Palace Park Trust took over custodianship of this historic landscape and its unique venues via a 125-year lease from the London Borough of Bromley. We are now working closely with a wide-range of partners to deliver a multi-million-pound regeneration and restoration project that will save the park’s globally unique heritage and drive a 35% increase in annual visitor numbers.
