About Brighton Table Tennis Club

Brighton Table Tennis Club is the UK’s first Club of Sanctuary and a national leader in community‑led sport. We believe table tennis is a powerful tool for connection, confidence, and social change. Every week, we work with hundreds of people across Brighton & Hove — from young people in care to adults with learning disabilities, unaccompanied asylum‑seeking children, older people, and everyone in between.

We are now looking for a Philanthropy Manager to help us grow the resources we need to keep this work thriving.

The Role

• Build strong, authentic relationships with donors, funders, and partners

• Write compelling proposals, cases for support, and impact reports

• Manage the full lifecycle of grants and philanthropic partnerships

• Work with BTTC’s community to gather stories, quantitative data, and evidence of social impact

• Represent BTTC at meetings, events, and funder visits

• Maintain accurate records of funder engagement and grant budgets

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in philanthropy giving, fundraising, grant management, or community investment

• Excellent written and verbal communication

• Confidence building relationships with a wide range of people

• Strong organisational and project management skills

• Understanding of the charity sector and community‑led approaches

• A genuine commitment to BTTC’s values of inclusion, equality, and empowerment

What We Offer

• The chance to be part of a nationally recognised, award‑winning organisation

• Opportunities for professional development

• Flexible working arrangements

• A role where your work directly contributes to real social impact
