Use your fundraising experience to help a growing charity create lasting opportunities for vulnerable young people in Senegal. Your skills and networks could play a vital role in strengthening Aspyre Africa's sustainability and long-term impact.
What difference will you make?
This is not a traditional fundraising volunteer role. It is an opportunity to work directly alongside the Chair and Trustee Board to help build the fundraising foundations of a growing charity.
You will work closely with the Chair, who currently leads fundraising on a voluntary basis while also serving as an unpaid Director. Rather than joining an established fundraising department, you will become a trusted adviser, helping shape our fundraising strategy, strengthen our systems and identify the opportunities that will enable Aspyre Africa to grow sustainably.
We are looking for someone who enjoys thinking strategically as much as getting things done. Whether you are recently retired, working part-time or simply looking for a meaningful way to use your experience, you will have the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the future direction of the organisation.
