Background Information

The Screen Academy Foundation fundraises for the London Screen Academy (LSA) and the East London Arts & Music (ELAM) - two free-to-attend, Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ sixth form academies for 16-19 year olds in London which, combined, are teaching just under 1200 young people every year. With the opportunity to work alongside an inspiring and supportive Board of Trustees from across the Film, TV, Media, and Music industries, this role is within an ambitious and exciting Foundation.

Part of the same multi-academy trust (the Day One Trust), LSA and ELAM were founded by industry leaders from the film and music industries who wanted to address the lack of diversity, inequality of opportunity and serious skills shortage in the creative industries. 

LSA and ELAM’s shared mission is to transform and diversify the creative industries by enabling access to all young people, no matter their background, and to develop the most well-rounded, highly skilled workforce possible, which reflects the cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the world we live in. LSA teaches a behind-the-scenes Film & TV programme in Highbury whilst ELAM teaches Music, Games Design and Film & TV in Bromley-by-Bow.

Fundraising for LSA and ELAM

As sixth form academies, the LSA and ELAM receive funding from the Department for Education. However, in order to provide students with world class facilities and equipment, opportunities to engage with industry, arts and culture, and services to support their mental health, the charity needs to raise an additional c. £2.2m each year to supplement the Government funding. 

Philanthropy and corporate partnerships are therefore crucial to the success of the Academies.

Purpose of the Role

This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in fundraising and gain experience across all areas of the sector.
