Head of Fundraising & Partnerships 2024

Body & Soul is a thought leading organisation in frontline health and wellbeing and we are seeking exceptionally passionate and skilled people to lead our Fundraising & Partnerships team.

Body & Soul is a multi-award-winning organisation with a mission is to transform trauma across the life course. Our unique therapeutic and community-based programmes engage thousands of members of all ages in programmes including the RSPH award-winning 'You Are Not Alone' (Suicide Prevention Service), Body & Soul Families (Adoption Support) and Body & Soul HIV Support Programmes for children, young people and families.

Before you go any further…

Body & Soul works with marginalised communities and issues that do not attract mass support, awareness or funding, which is why we are here. It’s not the easy-end of the charity sector and not for faint-hearted. We are all campaigners alongside our formal roles, challenging stigma, racism and power that impacts our community and prevents access to resources that can transform adversity.

There are benefits if working here, but they are not the usual package of remote working, holiday allowance or pension schemes. What we have full access to is a working environment and community where you will be valued, respected and made to feel a part, rather than small cog in a machine. You will have full access to a rich learning culture that enhances our team’s wellbeing and an absolute sense of identity and purpose. You will hear inspiring stories and the people behind them, every single day. Then there’s the food, but we will tell you more about that another time….

At the Heart of the Charity

The work of our organisation is not just about the frontline. We believe Fundraising and Partnerships is part of a crucial operational set-up that is very much at the centre of our work at Body & Soul. Our mission drives us to constantly develop our model and design cutting-edge services for communities whose needs are often unseen or underserviced. We have the vision of health that looks beyond the diagnosis and fully understands the importance of ‘what has happened to people’, not ‘what is wrong with them’.

Fundraising and Partnerships is the pipeline that provides the stability and confidence in our services that our members need so much.

Fundraising works hand in hand with service research, design & development. The Fundraising and Partnerships Manager skillfully translates our model into compelling proposals that communicate a progressive, effective approach to health. The combination of a rich heritage, proven impact, a vibrant brand and a culture of innovation, makes this an incredibly rich environment in which to work.

Qualities

Passion: This role is made for an accomplished professional who is passionate about addressing some of the most marginalised health issues of our time. We want to work with people who are motivated to be part of challenging the conventions of healthcare that exclude minority communities and fail to effectively address the complex roots of so many current health issues. We need open minds and passion for change!

Communication: We also require the communication skills to translate our strong values and philosophy into inspiring and achievable project proposals. You’ll be skilled and experienced in your grant-writing but equally able to translate this into a range of formats to meet your audience.

People-focused: At Body & Soul you need to be drawn towards people. Our community will be your inspiration on a daily basis. If you envisage a department far away from the ‘real work’, you could not be further from the reality here. This role is based amidst the real everyday work. Bringing together impact data for reports is a part of the role, but every day you’ll see evidence around you. Your ability to build relationships with a diverse range of funders will be fundamental to generating financial support in the most challenging of times.

Creativity: the way we see and understand health is unique. The way we think and embrace design, language and authentic compassion are, we believe, rare commodities in the sector. We are always looking to find creative ways to translate this way of working into inspiring proposals with real vision!

Broad shoulders: This job comes with responsibility and challenging targets. Our members have found our services to be both a lifeline and a key to a future very different to the past. It is true to say that they were unable to find this anywhere else. With this responsibility comes the enormous job-satisfaction of securing relationships that can enable us to help thousands more.

Job Purpose: 

Pelican Parcels has grown from supporting 500 children in our first year, to now helping over 5,700 annually. We have been able to grow at this incredible rate due to the amazing people and organisations across Brighton and Hove. Our fundraising pipeline is overflowing, and our network of supporters continues to grow each year. 

We now need to bring in an enthusiastic fundraiser to work alongside our experienced volunteers and trustees, helping us strengthen and grow these relationships.

The Fundraising Manager will implement our fundraising plan. We have been successful in securing all funds needed for 2024/25, so this role will:

• Work with the team and Trustees to drive income and secure the annual targets

• Oversee fundraising for individual giving, community and events, companies and trusts and foundations, and deliver all aspects of these fundraising strands, with support from the fundraising trustees.

• Ensure all fundraising activity is delivered in an effective and integrated way.

• Ensure existing donors, as well as new prospects are nurtured.

• Work with the two fundraising trustees who will continue to have capacity to support fundraising 

We are looking for an efficient fundraiser, someone who is willing to get stuck in and join our warm and enthusiastic team and to work closely with our two fundraising trustees. Importantly, we are looking for someone who can demonstrate they are passionate about wanting to help local children and families living in poverty.

We are a Disability Confident Committed Employer committed to actively promoting and implementing equality of opportunity in all that we do. We value diversity and treat everyone fairly and equally. We ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible and welcome applications from all backgrounds. 

This job description is a guide to the nature of the work required of the prospective employee. It is neither wholly comprehensive nor restrictive and therefore does not preclude change or development that will inevitably be required in the future.

I’m a young mum and I’m not working so I was stressing so much, plus my baby came 2 months early so I really not prepared it. I had nothing for the baby! So again I just want to say a huge Thank you again for your generosity it has really helped me and my baby more than you would imagine. <3  I plan to donate once my  baby has grown out of his clothes.”  Mum - Leanne

Our Fundraising Plans

Funding has been achieved so far from diverse sources including Brighton and Hove City Council, individuals (from a few pounds to thousands), a range of trusts and foundations and companies.

We now wish to grow our fundraising programme in response to the demand we are seeing to help more families. 

Our income has continued to grow. In 2022/2023 income was £90k, up from £38k in just 2 years. We raised £190k in 2023/2024 and have already raised over £220k for 2024/25. 

We know we need to continue to grow to meet demand for our service. We need a bigger warehouse (we have plans to move in early 2025) and additional staff soon afterwards. We have built up reserves to support 3 months of operations costs and the warehouse move of £117k.

We plan to grow our turnover to £250k by 2026/2027. We have already secured 25% of what is needed for 25/26 and 20% for 26/27. 

ROLE BACKGROUND

Our trustees Carla Pannett and Lucy Stone take the lead on fundraising for the Charity. Carla and Lucy will continue to support this work and role.

Lucy leads on Trusts and Foundation relationships alongside Brighton and Hove City Council funding applications. We feel confident with our level of work and growth in these areas. We have a number of multiple year funders confirmed, a range of funders who fund annually following applications and a pipeline of new trusts. 

Carla leads on corporate partnerships, individual giving, community and events fundraising. We believe there is more growth possible here which is why the role will focus heavily in these areas. One-off and regular donations continue to be made.

We have just completed a crowdfunding campaign in August 2024. £42,198 + Gift Aid (so far) has been raised during the ‘Children in Brighton & Hove need your help’ crowdfunder. It has been a smashing success due to 192 supporters, raising our profile across the city and beyond. This was a mix of trusts and foundation, individual and corporate giving. We want to ensure that we make the most of relationships developed during the crowdfunder.
