We are offering an opportunity for someone to gain charity experience as a Trusts and Foundations fundraiser helping us identify potential grant sources
What difference will you make?
Our small charity needs to self-fund many of its services (Counselling, Helpline, Wellbeing activities). This model enables us to help as many local people as possible with their mental health. Therefore, ensuring that we have a sufficient number of grants is essential to remaining solvent.
As a volunteer who spends quality time focusing on fundraising, you will help ensure we continue to help as many local people as possible.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
