Fundraising & Corporate Partnerships Manager
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK
Full Time | Hybrid | National Role
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000
Help Us Build the Next Phase of Growth
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK is an ambitious and rapidly growing charity supporting schools and communities across the UK through school pantry programmes, breakfast clubs and wider wellbeing initiatives that help children and families experiencing food insecurity.
We currently support around 180 schools nationally, with a long-term vision to expand to 500 schools and beyond.
As part of this exciting growth phase, we are investing in two of the charity’s first full-time paid roles to help build the next stage of MCKS’ fundraising, partnerships, impact and operational infrastructure.
The Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising Manager will work very closely alongside our Schools, Community & Impact Manager, with both roles playing a key part in helping shape the future growth of the charity.
Together, these roles will help strengthen supporter engagement, develop partnerships, improve impact reporting, increase fundraising income and expand the charity’s national reach.
This is a genuinely hands-on opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up. Whilst significant growth and development is already underway, the charity is still evolving its infrastructure, systems and processes. We are therefore looking for someone who enjoys working within a growing environment and is excited by the opportunity to help shape and build new ways of working.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to sit behind strategy documents.
We are looking for someone who can think strategically whilst also being willing to roll their sleeves up and deliver — someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, driving activity forward and helping turn ideas into tangible results.
About the Role
Working closely with the charity’s leadership, trustees and Schools, Community & Impact Manager, you will help develop and deliver a diversified fundraising and partnerships strategy that supports the charity’s ambitious growth plans.
This is a varied, fast-paced and hands-on role where you will focus on developing corporate partnerships, securing fundraising income, supporting campaigns and events, and helping strengthen the charity’s fundraising infrastructure for future growth.
Alongside longer-term relationship building, we are keen to see visible fundraising activity, momentum and new opportunities generated within the first year.
We are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen — someone who is proactive, delivery-focused and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical implementation within a growing charity environment.
As the charity continues to evolve, this role will also contribute towards shaping systems, processes, partnership approaches and supporter engagement activity from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities
Corporate Partnerships
- Identify and develop partnerships with corporate organisations aligned with the charity’s mission
- Secure financial support from businesses
- Develop partnership proposals and sponsorship opportunities
- Build and manage long-term relationships with corporate partners
- Develop employee engagement and fundraising opportunities with partners
Fundraising & Income Generation
- Identify and secure fundraising opportunities across corporate partnerships, community fundraising, events and trusts
- Support the development and delivery of fundraising campaigns and initiatives
- Help grow and diversify sustainable income streams
- Develop fundraising resources and supporter materials
- Support the planning and delivery of fundraising events and activities
Trusts & Foundations
- Research and apply to relevant grant-making trusts and foundations
- Develop compelling funding applications and proposals
- Manage funder relationships and reporting requirements
Donor Engagement & CRM
- Support the implementation and development of the charity’s fundraising CRM system
- Maintain accurate records of fundraising activity, donors and partnerships
- Track fundraising activity and provide updates to leadership and trustees
- Support supporter engagement and donor stewardship activity
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
- Experienced in fundraising, corporate partnerships, sponsorship or business development
- A confident relationship builder with strong networking and communication skills
- Proactive, organised and delivery-focused
- Comfortable working independently within a growing and evolving charity
- Hands-on and willing to get involved operationally as well as strategically
- Able to manage multiple priorities and work at pace
- Commercially aware with a creative and solution-focused mindset
- Comfortable helping build and improve processes, systems and ways of working
- Passionate about making a genuine difference to children, schools and communities
Experience within the charity sector is welcome but not essential if you have strong partnership development or fundraising experience.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone with energy, initiative and the ability to turn ideas into action.
Why This Role Matters
MCKS Charitable Foundation currently supports around 180 schools across the UK through its school pantry programmes and breakfast clubs.
Through strategic partnerships, fundraising and community engagement, this role will help expand that support to 500+ schools nationally, helping thousands more children and families access essential food support through their schools.
This role will play a direct part in helping the charity strengthen its long-term sustainability, fundraising infrastructure and national reach.
In your first year, the focus will be on creating fundraising momentum, building a strong pipeline of opportunities and securing new income through corporate partnerships, trusts, fundraising initiatives and supporter engagement activity.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role will involve bringing energy, momentum and proactive delivery into the charity’s fundraising activity from the outset.
You will be comfortable taking ownership of opportunities, building relationships, identifying new income streams and helping turn ideas into tangible fundraising activity and partnerships.
Alongside helping develop longer-term fundraising infrastructure and partnerships, we are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen and delivering visible progress within a growing charity environment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, working collaboratively and seeing the direct impact of their work on schools, children and families across the UK.
Why Join MCKS?
This is an opportunity to join a charity at a genuinely exciting stage of growth and help shape its future direction.
You will be joining at a pivotal time as MCKS invests in building its fundraising, partnership and impact infrastructure to support long-term national growth.
This role offers the opportunity to:
- Help shape one of the charity’s first dedicated fundraising and partnerships functions
- Work closely alongside the Schools, Community & Impact Manager to help build the charity’s future infrastructure and growth
- Build meaningful corporate and community relationships

What the job involves
We’re looking for an ambitious fundraiser to join our Philanthropy team, capitalising on recent growth and with the chance to really make your mark. Your role is to engage influential and high-profile individuals and Trusts in the UK, connecting them to the difference they can make to thousands of men facing prostate cancer. You’ll lead on our established high value giving club, ‘The Pioneers’, and be creative with developing and growing membership and income for this product.
Providing the highest level of stewardship, you’ll ensure existing and new supporters feel valued, inspiring them to make five and six figure gifts, which will significantly improve the lives of men facing prostate cancer and their families. You’ll also harness the support of our enthusiastic and influential Trustees, Senior Volunteers and Leadership Team, involving them when appropriate.
As a Philanthropy team, we work hard to support and motivate each other. We’re inclusive, enthusiastic, open, helpful and driven. We’re looking for someone who shares our passion to achieve success and work collaboratively to bring about the urgent change needed for men.
What we want from you
You’ll bring strong experience within a philanthropy fundraising environment, including a solid understanding of solicitation stages and effective engagement techniques.

Highly organised and comfortable managing competing priorities, you’ll be able to balance the stewardship of existing supporters with the cultivation of new prospects. You’ll be comfortable working both strategically and in detail, from shaping individual engagement plans to supporting the growth of giving clubs or membership schemes as a key driver of future income and impact so we can save more men’s lives.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

Do you have significant strategic leadership, operational management and budget management experience?
AFK is looking for a visible leader of our organisation to inspire and motivate the team through your presence and engagement.
Context of Job
AFK is a national charity whose mission is to create opportunities for children and young people who are disabled or neurodiverse, to increase their independence, reach their individual potential and remove the barriers they face.
Our vision is a world where there are no barriers to independence for children and young people who are disabled or neurodivergent.
In response to this we offer bespoke employment skills training and organise work experience across North London. At a national level, we provide mobility equipment not available on the NHS for disabled children and young people up to the age of 25.
Overall Job Purpose
The Chief Executive Officer will provide strategic leadership and operational management for the charity, working closely with the Board of Trustees to deliver our mission and ensure AFK's sustainability and growth. You will lead a team of around 30 staff and volunteers, managing an annual budget of approximately £2 million.
As the visible leader of the organisation, you'll inspire and motivate the team through your presence and engagement. You'll be responsible for building strong team relationships, providing hands-on support when required, and will demonstrate the charity's values in everything you do. By leading from the front and showing the commitment and passion that drives AFK forward, you'll create a culture where everyone is motivated to deliver their best work.
Working Conditions
The post is 35 hours a week, normally 9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday. The post holder may be expected to work some evenings and weekends as required by the job.
28 days annual leave will be given in addition to public holidays.
There is a TOIL policy.
Working Relationships
The CEO will maintain close working relationships across all levels of the organisation and with external stakeholders. You'll work collaboratively with a Board of eight trustees to drive the charity's strategy forward, providing regular updates and ensuring effective governance.
You'll line manage members of the Senior Management Team, ensuring a cohesive and effective leadership group.
Building and nurturing relationships with key funders, partners, and supporters will be essential to the role. You'll act as an ambassador for the charity with AFK’s stakeholders, representing our mission and impact. Developing strong networks within the sector and maintaining meaningful connections with service users will be vital to ensuring the charity remains responsive and relevant to those it serves.
You'll also build visible and accessible connections with the wider staff team through regular communication and engagement across the organisation.
Importantly, this is a hands-on leadership role with a direct portfolio responsibility. In addition to your organisational leadership duties, you will lead and manage one of our core functional areas, whether that is Service Delivery, Fundraising, or Finance and Operations. You'll bring your specialist expertise and people management skills to this area, taking ownership of its performance and development.
This means the CEO role combines strategic leadership of the whole organisation with active, day-to-day accountability for a defined part of it.
AFK is a successful charity with well-established processes and an experienced team, meaning you'll be well supported to fulfil both dimensions of this role effectively.
