The Role
FARA is looking to launch the charity's new fundraising activities programme and is looking for an experienced fundraising and individual giving manager to lead the creation and launch of this.
It is an exciting time for the charity, which helps disadvantaged children, young people, adults and their families in Romania. Building on the initial income opportunities and strategy development work done by fundraising consultants, you will be joining a marketing function with ambitious plans to transform our communications. You will work alongside colleagues across the whole organisation to deliver this work.
The Fundraising and Individual Giving Manager will be responsible for:
- Creating systems, structures, activities and messages designed to launch and grow income streams, predominantly from individual givers and community partners taking the charity’s fundraising income to six figures over three years.
- Using data to inform Individual Giving campaigns, creating powerful messaging to acquire, retain and upgrade donors through digital and offline methods.
- Creating and implementing methods of attracting and retaining people and community partners to donate and fundraise, ensuring a steady and growing stream of income.
- Identify and optimise any emerging and new fundraising opportunities to help grow income for the organisation
The Person
Are you entrepreneurial, innovative, personable, and collaborative, with experience developing and delivering fundraising programmes? Are you keen to get your teeth into a new challenge and create something from scratch?
The role requires a candidate with a strong background in building relationships and identifying and developing new fundraising messages, campaigns and activities from scratch. This is not a case of picking up a mature programme and running with it (although the organisation does have a small baseline of donors who have been giving for many years). The opportunity is all about creating, testing and learning – to diversify income sources at FARA, utilising the extensive network of supporters it has gained through its 40 charity shops across London.
You will need to be proficient in digital platforms, with experience in building a digital-focused approach to supporter acquisition and donor development. You will play a crucial role in nurturing relationships with individual supporters to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children, young people and adults in Romania.
The post-holder will need experience developing creative giving programmes and be excited by the prospect of pursuing new opportunities for the organisation by engaging with existing supporters—many of whom might only have ‘gifted’ the charity via donations of pre-loved clothes and other items to FARA shops.
Why FARA
FARA funds, develops, and manages social support services across Romania for vulnerable children, children with learning disabilities and complex needs, youth at risk, adults with learning disabilities, and community-based programmes, tackling poverty through education for Romania’s poorest families. FARA, established in 1991 following the fall of communism, has grown to be one of the biggest and most established NGO’s in Romania, working to building a stronger future for Romania.
This is an exciting new role for the organisation and a wonderful opportunity for the right individual to shape an emerging fundraising programme. You will be joining a relatively new marketing team that is working to build and develop this wider function for FARA to support the shops' network and fundraising work. Working with an innovative and creative team, you will be well-supported to test, learn, and apply to achieve success.
The role is permanent and full-time, and offers the opportunity to work flexibly from the offices in Teddington or Angel, and from home.
If you think you could be the right person to fulfil the exciting responsibilities of this role, apply here, or get in contact Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons for more information.
Please note: If you would like to submit an application or express your interest in an alternative format such as audio or video upload, or require any adaptations for your initial engagement with us, please contact either Charlie or Leanne who will be happy to advise on this.
Please also be aware that we use anonymous recruitment methods when submitting shortlists for all our roles and we only work with organisations that are happy to engage with us in this way.
Charity Horizons is an equal opportunities employer and as such actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We welcome and encourage applications from all suitable candidates irrespective of age, disability, hidden disability, race or national origin, religion or belief, gender, gender expression, political view, sexual orientation, medical condition and pregnancy.
About us
Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
You’ll be joining a team dedicated to raising vital year-round income and making Crisis supporters feel valued and inspired. This role will be supporting the growing Legacy Programme, as we seek to inspire more supporters with this unique way of giving.
Contract: 12-month fixed term contract – parental leave cover
Location: Based in London office - (you will be required to work from the London office once a week or twice a fortnight in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working policy)
About the role
Legacy Fundraising is a key priority for Crisis and as Fundraising Coordinator, you’ll be supporting a programme which has grown significantly in recent years. As we expand to new channels and audiences, you’ll be using creativity and innovation to develop campaigns and communications to inspire people with this way of giving. You’ll also talk directly to supporters who’ve remembered Crisis in their Will and providing sector-leading supporter experiences to keep them engaged with our impact.
About you
We’re looking for an organised project-manager and ideally someone with experience of delivering communications to a mass audience. You’ll be an excellent communicator, online and in print, and be comfortable having tactful conversations with our supporters.
This role is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop the knowledge and skills needed for a career in the charity fundraising sector. To be successful in this role you will:
-
enjoy thinking creatively and using storytelling to bring complex issues to life
-
be confident in your communication skills, whether writing persuasively for a specific audience or talking 1:1 with a supporter of Crisis
-
be comfortable using digital technology and working with data to improve outcomes
-
take an organised and proactive approach to managing your workload and balancing different priorities
Previous experience in charity fundraising is not a necessary requirement; more than anything, we’re looking for a candidate who is motivated to learn new skills, happy being an active member of a diverse and dynamic team and is passionate about ending homelessness.

Welcome to Xenia!
Xenia is a grassroots women’s organisation on a mission to create more inclusive, equal and welcoming communities. We deliver weekly workshops in London and Sheffield which support women from all backgrounds, ages, faiths, cultures and immigration statuses to share, connect and learn together.
Participants are at the heart of the Xenia community. Migrant, refugee, asylum seeking, and British women come together as active equals at our workshops where we use the arts, heritage and power of conversation to connect, learn from each other and take part in local civic life. Together we create a community that supports practising spoken English, reduces social isolation, connects different cultures, and gives underrepresented women access to civic and democratic opportunities.
As an organisation Xenia is non-hierarchical and participatory, meaning decisions are made collectively and are proactively informed by participant involvement. The organisation is run by an Organising Team, made up of a small number of staff (currently 5) and volunteers and the trustee board. We aim to be true to our values that everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn. We do not have managers and instead operate in a flatter structure in which everyone contributes to running the organisation.
This is where you come in. We are looking for the newest member of Xenia’s staff team to drive our growth forward, with the support of the staff, Organising Team and Trustee Board.

You will have experience of raising funds from varied sources, with excellent communication skills that are adaptable to different people and situations. Most of all, you will be excited by the work that Xenia does.
If you think you could be a good fit for this role in Xenia, we’d love to hear from you. Even if you’re not sure you have the right experience, you can always get in touch and have a chat.
