ACT is an established charity paying grants to actors to bring stability and opportunity to their children.
None of ACT’s main fund is endowed so the Trustees must ensure new income to maintain reasonable reserves. In recent years ACT has received fewer legacies and donations from individuals, but we have been able to draw down from capital to supplement income. However, with the current low growth in investments, ACT must now diversity our income streams to support existing services.
Fundraising brief
We believe grant-making Trusts and Foundations are a significant source of potential income. The Trustees are seeking an experienced freelance trust fundraiser to raise an initial minimum target of £70,000 to support our ongoing children’s activity grants and projects.
· Fee: £350 - £450 per day (dependent on experience)
· Timescale for work: Sept 2024 - 31st March 2025
· 50 - 60 days work
The freelance fundraiser will identify parcels of work and potential funders. You will write bids and lead on the process, acting on the charity’s behalf as the main point of contact. You will report to Jane Foy, an ACT Trustee who is herself a professional fundraiser. Data will be provided by ACT’s head of family support and executive director.
ACT’s supports a niche group of beneficiaries. Our work is not project-based but may be parcelled into clusters of specific impact. This role is therefore likely to appeal to a fundraiser with experience in making a compelling case for a charity that is harder to fund.
Who we are looking for
A self-motivated and an effective freelance fundraiser with a strong track record of securing grant funding for a national organisation. Well-developed relationships with grant makers and knowledge of specialist funds. Excellent research and writing skills with ability to develop outcomes in line with funder’s expectations.
Deliverables
Delivering a case for support, for different areas of ACT’s work (see below).
A range of applications made on behalf of ACT between September 2024 and March 2025 to generate minimum £70,000.
Daily agreed rate will be inclusive of all expenses. There is option for a desk space at our office in Bloomsbury or flexible work from home.
To apply
We welcome informal discussion and CVs initially. Jane Foy has the board’s authority to commission a freelancer immediately.

Purpose of the role
Co-production in terms of design, delivery and evaluation is fundamental to the programme, and so we are looking for a person with direct lived experience of MHLDA inpatient services to join the FoNS team and to lead on co-production, bringing a lived experience lens to our team.
As an organisation we recognise that FoNS is at the start of our co-production journey. So, whilst the primary focus of the role is leading the co-production element of the mental health programme, working closely with the programme lead, a secondary purpose is supporting the development of co-production throughout the organisation.
Responsibilities will primarily consist of:
· Working as part of the FoNS Leadership Team for the FoNS Ward Manager Programme including attending relevant meetings with NHS England
· Playing a leading role and taking operational responsibility for co-production within the FoNS Ward Manager Programme. This includes meaningful engagement of persons with lived experience of mental health, learning disabilities and autism, families and carers, and staff throughout programme design, delivery, governance and evaluation
· Working as a part of the FoNS team, bringing a lived experience lens to support, promote and develop co-production across the organisation
· Understanding lived experience from a range of sources ensuring a broad demographic is represented and feed this into the FoNS team and co-production work
· Visibly advocating for lived experience involvement for FoNS
· Contributing to the ongoing development and lived reality of the FoNS’ ways of working
· Supporting FoNS with the co-creation of their next strategy which will commence in November 2024
A picture of day-to-day working might include:
· Preparing for and contributing to relevant meetings and monthly reports for NHS England
· Contacting, building relationships with, and offering support to persons with lived experience who are already or who may be interested in contributing to the co-production work
· Working with FoNS Finance to ensure all persons involved are fairly paid for their participation
· Meeting with FoNS Ward Manager Programme Lead to discuss ideas for evaluation of the current programme to inform co-production work moving forward
· Planning and facilitating online and face-to-face groups as part of the co-production process
· Meeting with FoNS Programme Leads to develop a wider understanding of FoNS’ work
As an organisation on a journey towards equality, diversity and inclusion, we welcome applications from all sections of the community and all backgrounds, including those with a lived experience of MHLDA, those from ethnic minority groups, those with disabilities and those from the LGBTQ+ community.
The deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 16th August 2024.

Access to higher education and the life-changing opportunities that come from attending the most competitive universities is not equal. 28 in 100 of the most advantaged students progress to the most competitive universities. In contrast, only 2 in 100 of the least advantaged young people access these universities.
We think this is fundamentally unfair. We work across the UK to support less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and to succeed when they get there.
Between 2021 and 2026, we will work with 100,000 students across the UK to help them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to access the most competitive universities. We will also support 10,000 students from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed once they enter universities.
We hope that you’ll consider joining us, as we work to create a fairer society where no child’s education is limited by their background.
