Basecamp Adventure Trust inspires and empowers young people in Leeds who are struggling to thrive, often suffering with poor mental wellbeing, lacking self-belief, and with little opportunity to develop in these crucial areas. Our unique year-long programmes are a powerful blend of outdoor adventure, personal development and compassionate coaching. 

We work with just 30 young people on each programme so we can develop valuable and trusting relationships built on a foundation of unconditional positive regard, understanding and celebration. In this nurturing environment, young people feel supported pushing themselves out of their comfort zone with exhilarating outdoor adventures and discovering in the process just how much they are capable of.

Fundraising Lead

This is a great opportunity to join a new dynamic and collaborative charity, to have a ‘seat at the table’ as we grow and develop and to make a very real difference.

You may be from a larger charity background looking for a more supportive, immersive or meaningful role, or you may be relatively new to fundraising looking for your first step up, in any event, it’s your motivation and temperament that are more important. You would be joining our small but growing team here in Leeds, all committed to our various missions in supporting young people, all busy developing our own areas of expertise whilst supporting each other as we tackle the many challenges that a burgeoning new organisation faces.

Initially this role is focused on stabilising and further strengthening our Trusts and Foundations platform. Having started our fundraising journey just 18 months ago we are currently working with a circa £250k annual budget, however, to meet our wider 3 yaer plan we are now aiming to double that in the next 2 – 3 years. Over time the intention is that supported by the Chair of Trustees you could potentially move on to lead on diversifying our funding streams focusing initially on developing long term corporate partnerships as well as an individual giving initiative.

The role will require creativity, attention to detail, a laser-like focus and incredibly strong relational and communication skills, it’s also a chance to grow a new role developing valuable strategic insight and playing a central part in the development of the charity as a whole.

We are fiercely proud of our relational approach and the programmes we run, and as such all staff including the successful candidate will take part in a minimum of 3 residential trips each year. Experiencing our work first-hand, whether helping a young person through the wind and rain or supporting the Programme Manager to run activities, it is a critical part of our approach to fundraising and it’s important that every member of the team lives, breathes and sees the magic of what we do.

• Ensuring all required feedback is delivered in a timely innovative and compelling manner

We do lots of adventurous activities in all weathers so being something of an outdoorsy person would be a definite advantage! This is all about immersing yourself in our work, as we are firm believers that it’s only by really seeing and feeling it for yourself that you can hope to convey our work to others.
• Attend (in a support role) other sessions to support delivery aims or have a chance to see delivery work first-hand.
