Trustee - Fundraising lead

The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FOWG) was set up in 2003 to restore, preserve and enhance Brixton Windmill and Windmill Gardens. We are now a thriving community organisation supporting local residents, milling flour, educating schoolchildren and allowing visitors to experience the 200 year old windmill.  We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (1176991).

We’re looking for a new Trustee to lead the fundraising activity for the organisation and support an active and engaged fundraising committee made up of volunteers.  The income for the FOWG is split between grants from heritage and community funders, donations from local people, and private hire fees.  As a Trustee leading on fundraising, you’ll support the continued grant applications made by the fundraising committee, explore new routes for donations and grants, and ensure that the Trustees and committee have the information they need. Alonside this, you’ll also fulfil the role of Trustee, attending regular meetings and overseeing the work of the organisation as a whole. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with fundraising experience to gain knowledge and insight into how a charity is run, work with welcoming and supportive trustees and staff, and support a wonderful local community organisation.
