About LMK
Good relationships shape our health and happiness, yet we are taught so little about them. LMK (Let Me Know) is on a mission to change that. We are a young and thriving charity providing education about healthy and unhealthy behaviours so that young people have the knowledge and skills to avoid abuse and thrive in their relationships. We work in schools, community organisations and workplaces across London.
LMK is growing at pace and we are ambitious in our plans for the future. We’ve already engaged 15,000 young people and professionals in our workshops in our first 4 years and we want to reach 10,000 young people per year by 2025-26.
Our work is primarily funded through grants received from charitable trusts and foundations, but we have exciting plans to diversify income to include major donors, corporate supporters, statutory awards and challenge events. This post will focus on supporting major donors, corporates and trusts and foundations.
We have:
✔ A clear plan of who we want to target for our workshops over the next 3 years, and a fundraising plan to support it
✔ An engaged leadership team and Board of Trustees
✔ Evidenced outcomes, rich data/statistics and compelling case studies
✔ Diversity and strong social purpose
✔ A new organisational strategy that sets our vision from 2024-2027
✔ A new CRM system that has been built to support our ambitions

● Influence and shape project development and impact measurement by ensuring major funder needs are taken into account
● Work with colleagues to monitor the progress of grant-funded projects, ensuring that obligations are fulfilled within the terms of the grant wherever possible and informing funders in a timely fashion of any significant deviations from projections.
● Proactively seek out feedback from funders where appropriate, share insights with the team and use this to inform LMK practice.
● Ensure all activities are legally compliant, in keeping with our values and adherent to due diligence and our Acceptance or Refusal of Donations Policy.
● Ensure that information relating to funders is appropriately recorded in CRM systems, accurate and adheres to data protection guidelines.
● Provide regular reports and information to the Head of Fundraising & Development on your progress against plan, targets and income generated.
