The Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser will join a small but passionate fundraising team, working together to harness the power of adventure to create lasting change and transform communities for all.
The successful candidate will be responsible for securing core and restricted grant income for the different areas of Bendrigg’s work to ensure that outdoor adventurous opportunities are accessible to all. For example, one day might involve submitting a grant application for specialist climbing equipment whilst another might involve meeting with a funder to discuss support for our volunteering programme.
This exciting opportunity will focus on raising funds from charitable trusts and foundations, primarily through grants of between four-and five-figures, to achieve overall annual fundraising targets (currently c. £900,000). The Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser will build on the existing strong relationships we have to encourage long-term partnerships, develop new relationships with potential funders and explore new opportunities for support.
The ideal candidate will have the ability to collaborate well with the team whilst successfully managing a varied workload. This role would suit a self-starter who is passionate, motivated and can manage a diverse portfolio of relationships to secure funding and support for Bendrigg’s work.
We make adventure accessible, working together to overcome barriers and transform lives.

This is a home-based role covering West Yorkshire. If you're ready to make a meaningful impact as a Community Support Coordinator and work with a supportive team, we'd love to hear from you!
Our day centre service is currently open three days per-week offering respite, food and somewhere safe to be for anyone facing street homelessness. It provides advocacy and casework services to those who are vulnerably housed or homeless, supporting them to address their individual crisis and the underlying causes. We also provide a small year-round night shelter provision.
APAP works in close partnership with a number of key agencies locally including drug and alcohol teams, street outreach services, local authority housing teams and the wider VCS. We are a gateway service in the community through which our clients can access a range of support.
This role will require a keen interest in homelessness and the devastating impact this can have on people. This is a new role which would suit someone with experience of recruiting and managing volunteers. The role will entail expanding our volunteer base, developing processes and procedures to effectively support them and managing them on site. The role will report to the Senior Project Worker.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
