Fundraising Jobs
Job Purpose
In our fight for a fairer, greener future, Good Law Project has previously embarked on a series of legal interventions focused on the activities of 55 Tufton Street. From undisclosed donors and misinformation to astroturfing and lobbying, we intend to continue our work debasing the Tufton Street lobby groups and think tanks like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Restore Trust and Institute for Economic Affairs.
We are therefore commissioning further investigation of “Dark Money” that flows through Tufton Street in the guise of charitable funds. The Charity Commission exists to prevent this abuse, and that will be a key focus of this work. We are offering a one-year, fixed term contract to an experienced investigative journalist, to supply Good Law Project with a pipeline of exposés that will win commissions from the UK’s leading news outlets, including broadcast where possible, thereby contributing to the exposure of the Tufton Street axis, and helping to clean up our politics.
What we're looking for
- Track record of powerful investigative journalism, successfully pitching and bringing newsworthy stories of illicit activity conducted by harmful organisations or individuals to public attention
- Experience of reporting and managing risk (whilst still having appetite for substantial risk)
- Demonstrable experience of self-managing, remote working, reporting on a regular basis to the commissioning client
- Experience of working with open source data and proprietary databases
- Demonstrable experience of working with different departments across an organisation
- Great strategic nous – knowing when to push and when to find another route
- Digital journalist – instinct and experience for publishing across text, video, social media
What we do
- Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us.
- We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan.
- We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change.

About GLAN
The Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) works with affected communities to pursue innovative legal actions across borders to challenge states and other powerful actors involved in human rights violations and systemic injustice.

Responsible for attracting and retaining donors, and delivering an outstanding supporter experience, the fundraising department comprises two teams which work closely together to achieve our shared objectives:

This includes committed giving, in memory support, gifts in wills, and fundraising events and challenges. Our database and supporter care teams sit within public fundraising, with their work underpinning and supporting the entire department.

Our volunteering, support hub, and complementary therapy teams enhance the hospital journey for all patients – whether they live locally, or come from further away to access the trust’s specialist services.
Our support of the RFL workforce enables staff to perform at their very best. Spanning individual professional development and training through to organisation wide interventions, our initiatives bolster employee resilience and mental health so staff can achieve the best outcomes for patients.
We fund ground-breaking research with the potential to change people’s lives, whether it’s through our grant programmes, commissioned research, or delivering major capital funding appeals.
Our approach
We are a solution-focused strategic partner to the RFL, helping our hospitals to go further and faster than the NHS could do alone.

· vital support for our staff
