• Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with flexible working policy in place

About us  

Penny Appeal was set up in 2009 to provide poverty relief across Asia, the Middle East and Africa by offering water solutions, organising mass feedings, supporting orphan care, and providing emergency aid. We’ve come a long way since then and have grown tremendously in the past 11 years!

We’ve transformed lives and empowered communities, helping to break the poverty cycle and build brighter futures. Over the past few years, our work has expanded and our teams have grown considerably, allowing us to launch new campaigns and work in even more crisis-hit countries. As well as strengthening communities in over 30 countries around the world, we also make it a point to support vulnerable people here in the UK, too.

Each of our projects are carefully designed to be accessible and effective. They are a wonderful blend of emergency support, short-term relief, and longer-term sustainable solutions. Our way of approaching relief means that we can save lives immediately, improve situations in the coming days and transform communities for years to come.

At Penny Appeal, people are at the heart of everything we do. Every one of our projects are tailor-made to meet the needs of those we support and benefit as many people in need as possible, in ways that cost our generous donors just a little bit of loose change each day.

Transform small change into a big difference for those who need us most

Churches Conservation Trust are looking to recruit a Head of Fundraising to further develop CCT’s fundraising, building on the recent success of their growth in audience engagement.

Head of Fundraising
Full Time, Permanent
Salary £42,000 - £45,000 depending on experience plus pension and benefits
Homebased with regular travel to CCT offices (London N1, Leeds LS2, Bristol BS1) and sites

Over the last eighteen months we have grown audience engagement through online events and digital activity, welcoming many more younger and international members.  On the back of that success, we plan to continue growing our supporter base, and we are excited about the potential to widen audience reach, to increase support for sustaining individual churches and their communities.

This role within CCT offers an exciting opportunity for a fundraising professional, with a passion for England’s built heritage, to make a significant impact.  Over the next three years of CCT’s current strategic period, as the organisation delivers flagship NLHF funded projects, the Head of Fundraising will articulate the impact of these projects, and continue developing a strong case for support.

As well as sustaining existing fundraising income from grants, trusts and foundations, legacies, and individual giving, the role will be responsible for advancing local support and increasing fundraising across CCT’s England wide estate.  With their team, the Head of Fundraising will support and enable three regional teams so that the whole community support network of CCT is empowered to drive forward fundraising. This reflects an organisational wide aim to build a collaborative fundraising culture, and ensure CCT’s buildings at risk are sustained for the appreciation and benefit of future generations.

The successful candidate is likely to have developed their portfolio of fundraising skills over time in a national or international charity and can demonstrate considerable experience in increasing fundraising income, particularly in securing five and six figure donations.

They will have experience of line-managing junior fundraising staff and are looking for more managerial responsibility. As a graduate, they will have taken opportunities to improve their professional competence.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 9am on Friday 7 January 2022.

Initial interviews will be held on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 January 2022 via Zoom. Final interviews will be held face to face.  Please note that the interview dates have been specifically chosen according to the availability of the panel.
