Fulham Reach Boat Club exists to create a world where there is Rowing for All.  We do this by opening up access to rowing for all in our community, especially those who are most in need because of financial hardship or social circumstance.  We believe rowing helps realise full potential not just through the physical benefits but by developing confidence, resilience, communication and team working skills applicable both on and off the water.

We are a young, growing and ambitious charity that is looking for an all-rounder to help propel us into our next chapter.  This will be the first time that we have hired someone specifically to focus on fundraising so being a motivated self-starter is essential.  You will have a minimum of five years’ experience in donor fundraising, leading a specific campaign or equivalent.  You are a strategic thinker and effective networker with a strong track record of personally soliciting and securing major gifts.

The post holder will be responsible for developing and delivering a comprehensive fundraising strategy, case for support and implementation plan for the charity with the intention of successfully raising in the region of £0.5m per year. The post-holder will be responsible for identifying, cultivating and engaging a prospect pool with sufficient capacity to deliver the campaign.

The post-holder will work to ensure that each donor has an excellent experience, receiving effective communication and stewardship in order to build long term relationships with Fulham Reach Boat Club.

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.

Brandon Centre is a registered charity that provides young people aged under 25 with access to free and confidential specialist support around their psychological, emotional, mental health and sexual health needs. We predominately work with young people in Camden, Islington and other London boroughs and our mission is to expand our network to support even more young people who we hope will truly benefit from our services.

As we embark on our next stage of development, and with an enviable reputation for the services we provide, we are now in a position to recruit an experienced Head of Fundraising and Community Engagement.

This is a new, exciting and pivotal role that will help us to develop and lead our fundraising and communications team. With your expertise in corporate and community fundraising - which are new areas of development for Brandon Centre, you will help us to develop and implement our wider fundraising and communications strategies. As part of this role you will have the opportunity to recruit and develop a team of volunteers and young ambassadors to support us and broaden our engagement and fundraising within our local communities. 

Your personal focus will be to increase Brandon Centre’s income through corporate partnerships, sponsorship and major donors. Bringing new business into Brandon Centre will be your primary focus and where you will account manage and build relationships with future partners and stakeholders.

The role will be expected to generate an income of c.£200,000 in 2021-22 through potential donors and other revenue streams. Strong pitch creation and relationship building skills are vital to develop plans for the individuals concerned and to support our CEO and Trustees in making the ask.

You will be part of an experienced and ambitious Leadership Team that also includes the Head of People & Governance and Head of Finance & Performance. Reporting directly to the CEO, there may be occasions where you will deputise in her absence.

Core responsibilities will involve:

1. Fundraising – Strategy, Communications, Grant Funding, Major Donors, Corporates (local and national) and Reporting
2. Campaigns and Communications – Branding, Media, Campaigns, Digital, Events, Strategy
3. Monitoring and Evaluation – Including marketing, communications and fundraising activities seeking continuous improvement and high return on investment

5. Leadership/Management of the Campaigns & Community Engagement Team – Providing clear and consistent leadership and management of the team along with some volunteers and young ambassadors. As income increases there will be further scope to develop and recruit additional community engagement and corporate partnerships portfolio

Already a key performer in the charity or not for profit sector, you will need evidence of successful corporate fundraising and multi-year partnerships of a minimum £100k value.  Experience of developing and delivering organisation-wide fundraising strategies and tactical plans, along with a proven track record of managing and exceeding fundraising targets is essential.

A proven track record of organising community and engagement events will be extremely useful complemented by a good understanding of communications strategy, particularly in relation to planning marketing campaigns based on evidence of customer insight.

This role will particularly suit an experienced Fundraising Manager looking to expand your portfolio to communications, or maybe an excellent Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser looking to take a step up in your career.  A good knowledge and understanding of equality and gender issues will be necessary.

Further details about this key role can be found on the attached Job Description and Person Specification. Brandon Centre also offers a range of options for flexible working and we would be happy to discuss these at interview stage.
