About Ministry of Stories

Ministry of Stories champions the writer in every child. Co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010, we help young people discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of their writing. We develop self-respect and communication skills through innovative writing programmes and one-to-one mentoring for children living in under-resourced communities, working in schools, and at our dedicated writing centre in east London. We empower young people to write brighter futures for themselves through the power of their ideas, creativity and imagination.

Inspired by San Francisco’s 826 Valencia, you’ll find us hidden behind our own fantastical shop Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, which has been serving London’s monster population (and the occasional human) since 1818.  All proceeds from our monstrous offerings such as Cubed Earwax and Thickest Human Snot go back to support our work with young people.

Our programme currently includes:

• Weekly Community Writing Labs and holiday programmes for children and young people, hosted at our Writing Centre in Hoxton
• A Schools Programme delivering creative writing-led educational workshops, projects and training that support school’s needs
• A National Training offer, supporting cultural and education organisations around the country to embed Ministry of Stories methodology for the benefit of their local children, young people and wider communities

The Ministry of Stories is based in East London. We are open to discussing a hybrid of in-office and home working arrangements and the role will involve occasional off-site and evening meetings. The post is subject to a 3-month probationary period and an Enhanced DBS check.

About our fundraising

Now in our 11th year, Ministry of Stories is focused on growing our writing programmes within our community and primary and secondary schools. To achieve this, we have been focused on expanding our sources of funding and increasing our earned income potential from school partners and our shop.

Our overall direction of travel is to spread financial risk by seeking multi-year funding agreements and increasing the proportion of private income for our core work. In particular we aim to grow our number of corporate partnerships and increase our community of individual donors. In time, we aspire to rebuild our community and events fundraising, with a careful eye on return on investment.

As with many charities, our fundraising has been significantly affected by COVID-19. However, we are feeling optimistic. We have a good base of existing funders and high quality relationships we can build upon, as well as talented and inspirational young people to showcase, a strong volunteer programme and an engaging and creative charity to introduce to potential corporate partners and individuals.

To make the most of this important moment, we are looking to appoint an expert, ambitious and dynamic corporate fundraiser to grow and diversify our portfolio of funders, with a strong focus on securing new corporate partnerships and growing our number of cash and regular donors through appeals and marketing. This is a chance to make your mark and to contribute to the future of an exciting charity which has achieved high value corporate partnerships, values strong relationships, has a history of running successful events and the potential for meaningful engagement through volunteering.

To support this role, we have a motivated senior leadership team and are overseen by an engaged and active board of trustees who understand the importance of fundraising. Our board has invested in a team of two fundraisers for three years, which has helped us to realise income growth, new opportunities and to bring a unique creativity to our fundraising.

We are in a unique position to be recruiting permanently to both fundraising roles at the same time and will be looking to bring in a combination of skills and specialisms across the team.
