Through one-to-one key worker support, trauma-informed care, and community engagement, residents rebuild trust, form friendships, and gain confidence. Activities like gardening, arts and crafts, and creative writing foster connection and personal growth, while group involvement helps residents feel part of a wider community.

At LEAP, community involvement is at the heart of their work. Empowering residents through co-production is a key organisational goal. LEAP offer a range of inclusive engagement methods—from informal gatherings like group breakfasts and creative activities, to structured sessions such as support needs mapping and Residents’ Forums.

We also create pathways to volunteer with cultural institutions like the University of Oxford Museums.

LEAP empowers people with lived experience of homelessness and/or addiction, helping them build the confidence and skills needed to move towards independent living and employment. Over three years, the project aims to support 750 individuals.

They will build supportive networks, learn key life skills and access training, volunteering, and employment opportunities. Many will gain qualifications and secure long-term accommodation. The project strengthens peer support and enables residents to shape services through formalised Residents’ Forums, ensuring their voices influence senior decision-making. For Homeless Oxfordshire, LEAP enhances our capacity to deliver peer-led support, builds staff knowledge, and informs service improvement. Wider community benefits include reduced stigma around homelessness, stronger partnerships with employers and organisations, and improved understanding of the issues faced by our residents—ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and compassionate society.

About Us 

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.  

Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

About you  

Are you passionate about raising funds to make a real difference to nature in the UK?  

We are seeking an exceptional person to develop our opportunities to secure funding from charitable trusts and foundations, with a focus on growing our reach among international funders, to enable The Wildlife Trusts to achieve our ambitious goals for nature’s recovery. Based within our Fundraising team and working closely with our Senior Leadership Team and colleagues across the organisation, you will be instrumental in growing our fundraising through relationship development and excellent stewardship.  

You will be a motivated and resilient self-starter, enthusiastic about meeting new people and engaging them with our work. You will be skilled in researching funders and confident working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and with colleagues across the organisation to identify and utilise networking opportunities (both online and in person). 

 You will be a talented communicator, skilled in developing a compelling case for support to secure funding and in managing relationships with funders, both directly and with colleagues. A strategic and creative thinker, you will see the connections between different priorities and areas of work and create opportunities to raise the profile of our work with potential funders
