Who are we?
Orchards is a Christian charity with a vision to see women free from sexual exploitation and empowered for flourishing, independent lives. We build trusting relationships with each woman and enable her to access support for lasting recovery through our main areas:
- transitional safe housing
- specialist trauma counselling
- tailored life and work skills mentoring
- the offer of local church life for community, care, and exploring faith for herself if she chooses.
We are in an exciting time of growth as we continue to operate across three sites: South London, East London and East Sussex and prepare to open our fourth safe property. We have an opportunity for someone to join our team and manage our trusts and grants fundraising as we prepare to reach more women over the coming years.
We have a Genuine Occupational Requirement that our staff members hold a Christian faith (see below for further details). You should be comfortable bringing faith conversations and prayer into your work as appropriate, as well as participating in times of prayer with the wider Orchards team. We request that all staff commit to and uphold our ethos.
Growing our income generation
We are currently recruiting for two roles in our fundraising team. Our other role is Communications and Fundraising Officer and is focused on supporter care. Both of these roles are part time. We have written them separately as we believe that typically these are two different skill sets within the fundraising space.
However, if you believe that you have strength in both areas, we'd love to hear from you. We are very open to discussing combining the roles into one full time role. A combined role would involve hybrid working including travel to our London and Brighton sites and candidates would need to be comfortable in having a broad generalist role. Both skill sets would be tested at interview. If you would like to be considered for the combined role, please specify this in your cover letter.
More homeworking options are available for the Grants and Trusts role than for the Communications and Fundraising role.
Purpose of the role
Our work is growing quickly, so it's an exciting time to join our small but brilliant team. If you are an experienced Fundraiser with a strong track record of success with trusts and grants, are enthusiastic about church-led social action, passionate about tackling sexual exploitation, and have a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.
The ideal candidate would be a strong bid writer with experience in raising funds through grants and trusts (both Christian and secular) and statutory funding.
We have a clear fundraising strategy, a good track record with trusts and grants, existing relationships with funders, a pipeline already in place and plenty of content to draw from - so you will have a solid foundation to enable you to hit the ground running. We’d also love to benefit from your expertise, so you will be working with our Directors very closely, sharing ideas, reviewing strategy and developing and delivering new ideas and initiatives.
The purpose of this new role is to:
- Nurture our relationships with existing grant funders
- Generate new grants and trusts leads through quarterly prospecting
- Increase our grants and trusts income through bid writing
Your cover letter should include:
- An overview of your relevant experience and skills
- Why you are interested in working for Orchards specifically
- Reference to your Christian faith and how you might live out the Orchards ethos in practice

Introduction to the role
“Working at Full Fact is such a joy - the fundraising team are supportive, ambitious and positive.”
We are in danger of entering an era in which none of us believe anything we read, see or hear. Misinformation and disinformation have been identified by the World Economic Forum as the greatest global risk we face over the next two years. Bad information promotes hate, damages health, and hurts democracy.
Full Fact is an independent, impartial charity that fights for a world where we can trust the information that shapes our lives. Every day, we fact check harmful claims from politicians, the mainstream press, or on social media. We have created world-class AI tools to help us do this, which we license to fact checkers in 26 countries, including some of the most difficult places in the world for fact checking. We are a national and global player, using what we learn to push for policy change in Westminster and in Silicon Valley.
We are looking for a dynamic, cause-driven Trusts and Foundations fundraising leader to join us in the fight against bad information.
This role will lead our Trusts and Foundations programme, working from an existing £1m+ pipeline of major UK and international funders, as well as identifying and approaching potential new supporters. You will be creative and innovative in seeking out new opportunities, as we are looking to expand our fundraising into new areas of fact checking, such as climate misinformation and support for US fact-checkers. You will thrive on working with a range of colleagues and senior stakeholders to pull together information and develop compelling proposals for complex issues and projects.
Reporting into the Head of Development and line managing a Trusts Manager, you’ll be part of a successful and supportive team, with a commitment to recognising and developing people’s talent.
You will play a crucial role in holding our political leaders to account, countering the spread of dangerous misinformation online, and fuelling the development of AI tools for social good around the world.
If you are interested in applying but not sure you have all the skills, please do apply. We are open both to supporting learning on the job and to rearranging tasks within the team to suit the skillsets of the best applicant

Training and Development Officer
Key responsibilities:
The postholder will deliver training and consultancy to staff in (mainly) primary, Early Years and secondary school settings. The training and consultancy we offer is often bespoke and so all delivery team members contribute to the development of new courses and resources as required.
The training and consultancy may relate to one of our projects (such as Local School Nature Grants or Climate School 180) or be commercial training requested by a setting or local authority.
Flexibility is important as travel will be required and delivery sessions may take place after normal school hours. It will usually be your responsibility to communicate with settings to agree dates and times for delivering the training. The settings may be local or some distance away, so planning your diary to combine visits to reduce travel may be appropriate. When agreed, overnight accommodation and car hire (within budget) may be required.
What would a typical week look like?
Southwest
There is no ‘typical’ week but for a full-time trainer it could look like this. This would of course be scaled down for the 4-day role. The assumption for example purposes makes the starting place Exeter.
Monday - Travel to Newquay for pm session. Travel home afterwards.
Tuesday - Travel to Bath for am session. Travel to Bristol for twilight session. Travel to Weston-Super-Mare postcode for overnight stay.
Wednesday - Travel to Taunton for pm session. Travel home.
Thursday - Travel to Kingsbridge for twilight session.
Friday - Admin day.

These will include delivery of fabric reports, liaising with our fundraising consultants, scoping and progressing future capital aspirations with stakeholders, fulfilling all Heritage Fund reporting requirements and being a hands on member of the team.
Key responsibilities
- Oversee delivery of ‘Tewkesbury Abbey Welcoming All’ project
- To work in partnership with colleagues to ensure delivery of project objectives.
- Project timescale and deadline monitoring and management
- Budgetary and financial control and reporting
- Liaison with and reporting for Heritage Fund
- To manage consultation with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders in order to scope and develop plans for the project and for the Abbey’s future.
- Stakeholder consultation & engagement programme
- Scoping of future capital plans

- To be a hands-on member of the team working in partnership with colleagues, volunteers and members of the congregation for the flourishing of the Abbey as a spiritual, cultural and heritage resource to the town, region and nation.
Message from the Vicar…
For over 900 years Tewkesbury Abbey has been at the heart of the community - as a place of gathering, worship, celebration and remembrance. Down the centuries we have been a Benedictine Abbey, a parish church and a place of refuge in times of flood and war. Today the Abbey is a thriving parish church with hundreds coming here to worship each week, drawn by our commitment to daily prayer and our traditional choral worship. We are a ‘Major Church’ within the Church of England, and we are larger than fourteen of our country’s cathedrals. We are also a venue for concerts, large civic events, fairs and festivals working in partnership with colleagues throughout the region. In the past year we have also hosted a number of installations, exhibitions and events, a schools programme, concerts and talks in addition to our usual packed programme of worship and festive services.
Like many heritage assets within the UK, COVID and lockdown presented us with serious challenges to our financial sustainability. We are now responding to those challenges with ambitious plans to double our visitor income and numbers within five years. These plans have been agreed and funded by our Parochial Church Council and are being overseen by our trading arm Tewkesbury Abbey Limited.
We are delighted to have received a £250,000 development grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund towards our Tewkesbury Abbey Welcoming All project, a wide-ranging programme of works to increase our visitor engagement, including the appointment of new staff, surveys to scope future capital development plans, and testing new commercial activities including entry by donation. We hope that this will lead to one or more larger-scale capital bids which could result in a longer-term funding relationship to secure the Abbey as a thriving venue, unique heritage asset and national visitor destination.
As Project Manager for the Tewkesbury Abbey Welcoming All project, you will play a pivotal role in coordinating all the activities within it, shaping and delivering the future plans and development of the Abbey. You will ensure that timescales and budgets are kept to, that the Abbey’s committed team of staff, volunteers and clergy play their part in it, and oversee the recruitment and training of the new team members as we deliver the project. You will be the primary point of contact with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, ensuring that the Fund’s reporting and promotional requirements are fulfilled, and that accurate financial records are kept. The successful candidate will be an experienced project manager and a flexible team player who is looking for an exciting new challenge and the opportunity to shape the next chapter in the life of the Abbey.

Introduction
Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, speak out and race towards effective treatments for all. We won’t stop until everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK.
In recent years, improvements in the treatments for CF have transformed the symptoms and quality of life experienced by many, but not all of the community. The enormous leap forward that has been made is both wonderful and challenging and brings new support needs.
With better health, more people with CF now want to plan careers, but need to balance this with management of their condition. Others still need support with barriers to work or help to navigate their rights at work when they need to focus on their health. This led us to create Work Forwards, a dedicated programme of career, work and employment support for the CF community.
Background about the Work Forwards Programme
Building on the foundations of our existing financial and welfare support, our Work Forwards employment programme aims to give people with CF the confidence and skills to move towards secure, fulfilling employment which fits around their health needs.
Having secured three-year funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in autumn 2022, since then the programme has been helping people affected by CF with work, employment and careers. The project’s ultimate aim is to ensure they have the finances and resources to stay as well as possible and live a long, fulfilling life.
The project employs two staff and sits within our wider support service team lead by the Head of Support and Programmes. There are a number of key deliverables for the project including one-to-one support and guidance, online sessions, information resources, and a case study library. Outcome measures are focused on improing skills and confidence and ensuring people affected by CF can navigate barriers to work and employment.
Project Brief
We are now looking to evaluate the programme and seeking a freelance/consultant with expertise in evaluating programmes.
Working closely with Cystic Fibrosis Trust throughout, the consultant will design, implement and deliver an evaluation to enable us to monitor and assess to what extent the project is achieving the programme aims and make recommendations for future delivery.
The overall aim of this work is to compile and provide us with a comprehensive, well-presented, and easy-to-read independent report to demonstrate to what extent we have met the outcomes intended throughout this project, as described in the funding proposal.
The deadline for when we need this report completed is July 2025 and which we can then submit to the National Lottery Community Fund and use this to inform the development of future funding bids.
Key Deliverables
· Quickly develop a deep understanding of our project and anticipated project outcomes.
· Work with us to quickly develop the ways in which we will evaluate how we have achieved the project outcomes, through qualitative and quantitative data collection.
· Take lead responsibility for ensuring all research data and information is collected as required, to inform the development of a comprehensive report.
· Liaise with us throughout the process to ensure the report is developed to the standard we expect.
· By July 2025, provide us with an excellent final report which tells the story of the delivery of our project, the challenges, learnings and how we have met the project outcomes.
· Suggest a suitable methodology, within timeframe and budget, but we would expect it to include;
- - Interviews with beneficiaries who have been involved in the programme.
- - A review of key documents and resources produced through the programme.
- - Interviews/focus groups with people affected by CF to identify any future needs around work and employment not covered by the programme.
- - Review and compilation of all impact and evaluation data collected through the programme.
- - Review of the successes and challenges of the programme so far, to support us to learn from these and to suggest where they may be gaps in delivery/further opportunities to help us shape our possible future work in this area.
Indicative Budget
There is budget available to deliver this project and this is up to a maximum of £6,000. This must cover all costs to complete this work, including consultant fees, and any materials and resources needed to undertake the research and data-gathering element of the project.
It is accepted that it may be the responsibility of some other providers (including ourselves) to collect and provide some of the data required.
Role Requirements
The successful person will:
· Be a suitably experienced project consultant, researcher and report-writer.
· Have knowledge of delivery of funded programmes within a charity, particularly those funded by NLCF.
· Ideally understand work and employment programmes in a charity environment.
