About the Role
Our client is a Surrey-based charity supporting survivors of domestic abuse through refuge accommodation, advocacy, and specialist support services. They help women and children rebuild their lives and move towards a future free from abuse. They are now looking for an experienced Trusts Manager to play a key role in securing the income needed to sustain and grow their impact.
Responsibilities
Reporting to the CEO, the Trusts Manager will take a lead role in securing income from trusts and foundations fundraising as a central priority. You’ll develop a strong pipeline, build and steward relationships with grant-makers, and produce high-quality bids and reports that clearly evidence outcomes and need. While trusts will be the key focus, the post also has scope to contribute to wider income streams (e.g., corporates, community fundraising, individual giving) and to help shape the overall fundraising direction.
