SarcoidosisUK is a successful small, high-growth charity that is looking for someone to lead its marketing and fundraising functions. We’ve been growing at between 30 and 50% a year for the last five years and need someone to help continue our growth.
Sarcoidosis is a rare disease. That means we have a small but passionate audience who care deeply about the work we do. Your role is to build relationships with people, either personally or through smart systems and strategies, with the aim of converting a one-off fundraiser into a regular fundraiser, converting a single donation to us being a “favourite charity”. It is about taking each interaction someone has with us and using it to build that relationship that makes us special to them.
Sarcoidosis’s rarity means it has been ignored; however, it impacts around 1 million people worldwide, so a cure is desperately needed. The disease predominately impacts the lungs but can also affect the nerves, skin, heart and joints. For 30% it becomes chronic. Patients with sarcoidosis in two or more organs have a 40% mortality rate.
Currently there isn’t even a treatment – doctors can solely provide medicine for the symptoms. They can do nothing to stop the disease. We’re here to change that by funding ground-breaking research subject to successful marketing and fundraising.
Each piece of research gets us closer to a cure. We’re going to keep going until we have a cure for everyone. Until then we provide support and information to those affected.
The Role
This is an eclectic role that suits someone who enjoys the challenge of multiple projects, of a wide variety, and of rising to the opportunity of learning new skills to achieve their goals.
Responsible for all aspects of our marketing for fundraising. You will be directly responsible for all marketing efforts and will be measured against funds brought in.

- Working from the charity’s office at: China Works, 100 Black Prince Road, SE1 7SJ. Between Vauxhall & Waterloo.
- Our main marketing outlets are direct marketing, email newsletters, the website and responding to inbound fundraising inquiries (emails, phone calls & letters). We are also looking for creative marketing fundraising ideas.
- Your role would include managing:
- Fundraising direct marketing and e-campaigns to all donors.
- Monthly membership letters.
- Campaigns to clinicians.
- Our $100,000 google AdWords account - writing all adverts, managing keyword campaigns and measuring output.
- Managing our Facebook advertising campaigns.
- Event/ Fundraiser Event support – identifying and managing event places, providing assistance for volunteer fundraisers, creating custom named t-shirts, creating and sending out fundraising packs.
- Managing our online shop.
- Building relationships with those affected and major donors (via direct marketing, online and phone).
- Identifying, applying to, and managing relationships with grant giving organisations.
- Managing and writing the fundraising pages of the website.
- Managing our database of donors and contacts.
- Writing and distributing press releases.

This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

You may have experience of the following: Fundraising Manager, Senior Fundraising Executive, Senior Fundraising Officer, Head of Fundraising, Charity, Fundraising Director, Business Development Executive, Business Development Manager, Sales Manager, Sales Executive, Third Sector, NFP, etc.
Ref: 93800
Classics for All is a nationwide charity working to raise the aspirations of young people in state schools by introducing them to the wonders of the ancient world. Since our inception we have trained over 2,500 teachers to put Latin, ancient history, classical civilisation and Ancient Greek on their school timetables. This has reached over 55,000 young people across 900 primary and secondary schools.
Equality of education and social opportunity is at the heart of Classics for All. More than half of the schools we support are in areas of high deprivation. Classics are often seen as elitist and inaccessible – the preserve of private schools. Yet we know that learning about the Romans and Greeks – Gods, gladiators, myths, philosophy, The Iliad and The Odyssey – fires the imagination of all pupils, including those that are often disengaged from learning. Pupils of all ages are embracing the enriching experience of learning about the ancient world and its languages.
Deliver, manage and implement fundraising activities for the 2020/21 years, including a major fundraising appeal, matched funding campaigns, legacy activity and a gala fundraising dinner. The role will also support the stewardship of existing major donors, business development and collaboration with the Development Committee.
In anticipation of her maternity leave from late October 2020, our Senior Philanthropy Manager has put a series of fundraising campaigns and events in place for the next fifteen months. We are looking for an experienced fundraising and events manager to pick up on successfully managing and delivering these from mid-October 2020.
Working closely with the Executive Director and Development Committee in a small charity of 5.4 fte staff, the successful candidate will take the lead on key fundraising campaigns and events.
Due to Covid-19 Classics for All had to postpone most of its planned Tenth Anniversary events. The immediate focus for this role therefore is to manage existing fundraising campaigns during the final quarter of 2020 to reach our revised remaining fundraising target of £250k. This includes a general campaign which will launch in September and a match funding campaign in early December (Big Give Christmas Challenge).
With events scheduled throughout the following year there will be plenty of opportunity to engage with existing and potential donors. During 2021 the focus of this role will be organising a successful Gala Fundraising Dinner at Goldsmiths’ Hall with a target of at least £350k. Another priority will be attracting £25k in pledges during the summer for the Big Give match fundraising campaign taking place at the end of the year.
We are looking for an experienced fundraising and events manager with a proven record of meeting targets. You will be keen to take on a fixed-term contract which is a maternity cover for our existing Senior Philanthropy Manager. She will provide a detailed workplan and you will work in conjunction with the Executive Director who oversees fundraising and manages Trusts & Foundations. You will be supported by a large number of active senior level volunteers with a wide range of expertise. Our committed board of eleven Trustees bring a breadth and depth of experience in education, business and finance. They are led by our dynamic Chairman Geoffrey de Jager, an active philanthropist and former successful entrepreneur.
The role requires exceptional interpersonal skills, extensive experience of major donor fundraising including gala fundraising dinners (or similar) and match funding campaigns, and an interest and empathy for the work we are doing in state schools. This is a part time (two and a half to three days a week) salaried role with pension benefits and flexible working arrangements.
Despite a challenging year, our charity has seen unrelenting demand for its work and its small team works effectively to meet that demand. Classics for All enjoys a healthy number of supporters, with a track record of giving, who have been kept regularly informed of our programme of work in state schools. You will use your networks and communication and fundraising skills to ensure successful outcomes for our events and funding campaigns during this maternity cover period.

Our vision is a world where all those living in poverty have the opportunity to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Our mission is to provide the poorest women in sub-Saharan Africa with the tools and skills to enable them to work their own way out of poverty.
At MicroLoan Foundation, we believe that the best way to achieve our vision is to enable the poorest and most vulnerable people to work their own way out of poverty, building independence and resilience as their financial situation improves. By providing them with financial literacy, business training, ongoing support and small affordable loans, we help these women to start small businesses for themselves. Over time, the money they generate from their small businesses helps to ensure food security, improved housing, access to healthcare and an education for their children. We encourage them to make modest savings as insurance against future crop failure, family illness and other unexpected circumstances; giving them confidence in their ability to weather whatever life throws at them.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we are looking to grow our income and have a pipeline of high profile campaign opportunities in 2020 and beyond.
