We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty. 

In our nearly seven years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 12,000 bed bundles to children to date.

Our cause and story have captured the nation’s attention, and we have been provided with an incredible national platform that has seen us appear on local and national TV, on the radio, and in the national press. This has included appearances on BBC Breakfast, ITV News, Channel 4 News, Radio 5 Live, BBC Look North, and The Independent newspaper supported our Christmas 2023 appeal, culminating in Zarach being the front-page story on Christmas Day. 

In our short history, we have received continual funding support from a range of charitable trusts & foundations, businesses, and individuals, providing a great overall income and resources mix. 

With an estimated 4.5 million children in the UK living in poverty – including 1 million experiencing destitution and around 900,000 living in bed poverty – we have an aspiration to reach more children, in more areas of highest need across the country. 

We are looking for a mission-driven and values-led Business & Corporate Partnerships Manager to lead and grow our fundraising efforts as we seek to lift more children, in more parts of the country out of bed poverty.

Working within our small and dynamic Fundraising & Supporter Engagement team, you will be responsible for securing and nurturing partnerships with businesses, securing Charity of the Year relationships, and creating new opportunities to engage the business and corporate sector with our mission. 

As our ideal candidate, you will need to be within commuting distance to our Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. 

You will be someone who has proven experience in corporate fundraising and/or business development, with a track record of securing and maintaining partnerships. 

Ideally, you’ll have experience of fundraising in the charity sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date. 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website, and the coverage of us across social media.

Chelsea Foundation is at the beginning of an exciting new chapter. They have recently launched a brand-new fundraising function and are now seeking a dynamic and driven Major Donor Manager to help shape it from the ground up.

The Chelsea Foundation harnesses the power of football to engage and inspire communities locally and globally. With a commitment to education, health, equality, and inclusion, they use the reach of the club to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

Reporting into a highly respected and ambitious Head of Philanthropic Partnerships—who joined in September 2024—this is a rare opportunity to play a defining role in the early stages of building a major donor programme for one of football’s most recognised global brands.

Location: Stamford Bridge, London (Hybrid: 3 days in office)
Contract: Full-time | Permanent
Reports to: Head of Philanthropic Partnerships

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-Profile Platform: Football is a universal language. The Chelsea name opens doors and creates powerful engagement opportunities across a wide network.
• Community Impact: Despite the global brand, the Foundation maintains a hyper-local focus—ensuring donations create real, tangible change in the community.
• Early-Stage Momentum: This is a newly created role in a newly formed team. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone eager to build, shape, and lead from the front.
• Access to Influence: With time, there will be potential to engage with ultra-high-net-worth individuals—offering long-term growth and relationship-building opportunities.

The Ideal Candidate
This role would suit an energetic, self-starting fundraiser who thrives in a fast-paced, ambitious environment. They will bring strong relationship-building skills, a strategic mindset, and a genuine passion for connecting people to purpose. Importantly, they will be excited by the idea of helping to shape a programme from the ground up, and ready to make their mark within major donor fundraising.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the Head of Philanthropic Partnerships to develop and implement a long-term major donor strategy.
• Identify, research, and engage prospective major donors.
• Cultivate and manage high-value relationships, leading on face-to-face solicitations.
• Work closely with internal teams to understand funding needs and develop compelling cases for support.
• Ensure excellent donor stewardship, including regular reporting and impact updates.
• Maintain accurate records using CRM systems and support wider fundraising activities where needed.

What They’re Looking For

• Proven experience in securing significant philanthropic gifts.
• Strong track record in developing donor pipelines and writing compelling funding proposals.
• Confidence and credibility in managing high-level relationships.
• Skilled at working independently, with initiative and focus.
• Ability to prioritise and manage multiple workstreams effectively.
• Strong understanding of donor stewardship and fundraising best practice.

Application Process:

• Deadline: CVs ASAP
• Interviews: 
  • First interviews: May 7th and May 8th over Teams
  • Second interviews: In person at Stamford Bridge week commencing the 12th May

Ambitious, professional, committed and friendly.  That describes us.  If it also describes you and you have a passion for corporate fundraising, then we’re keen to hear from you.

We have 600 volunteers supporting unrepresented litigants in the civil and family courts in England and Wales, helping over 50,000 times last year.  At a time when legal support is increasingly limited, we have a vision that no one should have to go to court alone.  To make this vision a reality we have a focused fundraising strategy to ensure the charity has the resources it needs and our corporate partnerships are key.

We’re looking for a Corporate Partnerships Manager (Maternity Cover) to join our team, to steward existing partnerships and grow new connections, especially with those in the legal sector.  As well as running our Guardians’ network, you’ll arrange key supporter events and develop bespoke partnerships.

It’s a busy role and you’ll be supported by an assistant and a close working fundraising team. You’ll also be able to build on the firm foundations we already have in place. 

We’re open to applications from experienced corporate fundraisers, as well as corporate fundraisers ready to step up into managing the corporate income streams.

Interviews will be held on the 14th May 2025
