Key Responsibilities:
● Lead and energise our ‘Friends of YAA’ initiative, engaging donors and stakeholders.

● Attend networking events and donor engagement opportunities.
● Provide strategic guidance on fundraising approaches, identifying opportunities for sustainable financial growth.
Who We’re Looking For:
● A well-connected individual with deep knowledge of RBKC and its philanthropic landscape.
● A charismatic and strategic leader with experience in fundraising, corporate engagement, or development.
● Someone with a strong interest in youth and community development and a passion for social impact.
● A professional with a background in business, finance, philanthropy, or non-profit leadership.
