Check my CVWe have already created a brilliant website and have other ambitious plans to develop facilities in the Crediton area. We now need an experienced fundraiser to help us move these projects forward to ensure our town and villages continue to thrive in the challenging times ahead.
Last year we launched the Crediton In & Around website and social media channels to support our community by promoting local businesses and sharing local stories. We have plans to expand our website and, longer term, to build a new multi-use community centre. It could include much needed spaces for performance, cinema, voluntary groups and work hubs.
More immediately, as Covid restrictions ease, we are exploring ways of facilitating community events and activities through temporary structures or repurposing existing buildings.
To make all this happen we need an enthusiastic person with proven fund-raising to bring their ideas and energy to our small, friendly team of volunteers and Trustees.
Your role would include:
- helping us develop a fundraising strategy to support our short term aims and longer term vision
- researching sources of funding
- writing bids for small local grants, as well as larger national funds
- seeking support/sponsorship from local firms
- building relationships with private donors
You will need to be interested in community issues and, if from the Crediton area, want to use your local knowledge to help us develop local facilities. But we would also welcome someone new to the area, who could bring fresh eyes and new insights from experience of similar projects in other communities.

Regenerate’s Board of Trustee’s is looking to recruit two Trustees to support the organisation in an exciting new period of growth and development.
Regenerate – Creating opportunities for young people thrive.
Regenerate inspires and supports young people by building strong, lasting relationships and creating life changing opportunities; helping them grow in confidence, make the best of their lives and impact the world for good.
Regenerate is a youth charity established to work with young people who live on housing estates in Roehampton and Putney and surrounding areas.
About our trustees
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Regenerate responsible for the overall management of the charity. All our trustees are volunteers and we rely on them to help run the charity effectively.
The trustees provide us with the great skills, knowledge and experience we need to manage the charity well. Any single trustee does not need to know how to do everything, but our board is made up of people who can bring something different to complement each other in order to serve the young people Regenerate works with to the best of their ability.
We want our board to fully represent the communities that we serve. We recognise that we are currently missing vital voices from our board and so we are now searching for talented individuals to join our team.
If you think you have the skills to help us, and if you consider yourself to be one or more of the following we’d love to hear from you!
- From the local area and have knowledge about young people
- A professional with a background in youth service provision
Regenerate is an equal opportunities employer, recognising the positive value of diversity, promoting equality and challenging discrimination. We would welcome and encourage job applications from people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, ages and from underrepresented and minority groups.

We are looking for a Team Fletcher Marketing Hero. This superhero will join Fletcher’s Fund on a trustee basis to help us grow our brand, increase our revenue, create marketing plans for projects and fundraising events
and identify opportunities for us to share our unique, inspiring, uplifting story. We have the story, we need someone amazing to tell it!
This person will work closely with the trustees, to work collaboratively on areas for marketing / PR, whilst keeping track of income generated off the back of campaigns and adhering to our tight budgets.
In order to achieve our ambitious aims, we now need to grow our exposure, reach more people to gain more support and generate more income. This will then allow us to reach more paediatric oncology units and help more families with children with cancer, and launch new projects.
We have identified areas we need to work on, and these include
- Marketing
- Media and PR Plan
- Social media plan
- Database of followers
- Quarterly Newsletters
- Blogs
- Opportunities to speak / showcase
- Networking and conferencing
- Projects
- Project marketing / PR as required
You must be line with our charitable ethos of
• Being sustainable and cost effective
• working collaboratively with other organisations (private, public and third sector) to make a real, long lasting
difference to children with cancer.
• honesty, integrity, and being accountable to our service users and supporters.
• power of art and play therapy, and want to encourage the child with cancer, and their siblings, to be a child
despite their treatments.
• a commitment to working towards the goal of improving the experience of the child with cancer (through making memories and having fun), and the wider family (through supporting their wellbeing and mental health).
… and be ambitious enough to help us reach our Mission and our Vision:
Our Mission Statement: Our mission is to help 10,000 children with cancer to make memories, play and have fun. This is Fletcher's legacy, and it is our hope that we can give to other families a little bit of the joy that Fletcher gave to us.
Our Vision: Fletcher’s Fund aims to reach as many children with cancer and their families as possible, to help provide some relief of the financial burden from them and to enable them to make precious memories. We also aim to explore ways we can improve and provide assistance to the well-being and mental health of the whole family, including siblings, and those families that have being bereaved. We also envisage a time when we are actively assisting the play teams in all 19 Paediatric Oncology units in Great Britain.
This is an exciting time for Fletcher’s Fund. We are on the brink of a period of substantial growth, and this would be a wonderful opportunity for a new trustee to join our small team to make a genuine difference and succeed.
Please note that due to our small size, a trustee will be required to dedicate an agreed number of hours a week or month to ensure that our workload is met and we can achieve our goals of growth and sustainability.
Informal interviews will take place on Zoom at a time to be mutually agreed.
For clarity, this is an unpaid, voluntary trustee position within a charitable incorporated organisation, registered in England and Wales with the charity commission, and Scotland with OSCR.
