Borders Forest Trust (BFT) is investing in their first dedicated, in house fundraising post to provide strategic oversight and expertise to all the charity’s fundraising activity. 

BFT was established in 1996 to restore the ecological health of the various habitats of the South of Scotland, an area with the lowest percentage of native woodlands in mainland Scotland. Since 1996, BFT has been planting new native woodland, restoring peatland and improving many other natural habitats, enriching the biological diversity of around 31 square km across the Southern Uplands and the wider region. 

They demonstrate landscape scale ecological restoration in action, and inspire landowners, statutory bodies, local communities and policy makers to embrace more sustainable models for land use and conservation practice.

Fundraising to date at BFT has seen much success, but it has been responsive and ad-hoc as opposed to planned according to strategic need. To achieve Borders Forest Trust’s vision, and to provide sustainable long-term income, they are investing in a dedicated Development Manager.

The Development Manager will join BFT at an exciting stage, the entire organisation is behind this position and understands the need for it. They are looking for a fundraiser who will thrive on the challenge of designing and implementing their own fundraising strategy and who can provide the expertise needed to build income across all areas. 

The Board of Trustees have highlighted corporate partnerships and philanthropy as areas of great potential, so experience across one or both areas will be valuable for the successful candidate to evidence. 

There is so much potential for this post holder to deliver fundraising success. 

Please download the Candidate Pack for information on how to apply. All interested candidates will have an informal screening call with THINK Recruitment before progressing to submit an application. Please ensure you apply with enough time to have a call before the closing date.

Individual Giving Manager

Do you want to make life better for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, is seeking an Individual Giving Manager to join our Fundraising & Comms team. 

Founded in 1982, Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

We run a National Abuse & Violence Helpline, which brings together our four national support helplines for LGBT+ victims and survivors of: domestic abuse; hate crime; rape and sexual abuse; and so-called “conversion therapy”. 

We provide longer-term support to thousands of LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse through our advocacy and therapeutic services. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them, and then supporting them through their journey.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy change, to improve outcomes for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ people around the country.

This is an exciting opportunity to grow a programme with a compelling cause, and is ideal for a fundraiser looking to run a career-defining programme. 

This is a pivotal moment in Galop’s journey. We have grown quickly over the last six years and you’ll help to shape the future of our work and reach more of our community. You’ll also be helping to amplify the voices of LGBT+ survivors of abuse.
