This is a flexible, relationship-led role for someone who loves being out in the community, opening doors, inspiring supporters and turning local goodwill into long-term income to support seriously ill children and their families.

We are looking for an ambitious, energetic and relationship-focused Regional Community Fundraiser to join our fundraising team and grow sustainable support across Surrey. Working from home and spending significant time within your region, you will act as the face of the charity locally, engaging individuals, community groups, schools, local businesses and volunteers.

Join an ambitious, values-driven charity at a genuinely exciting moment in its development. The Peak District Foundation has grown substantially in recent years - raising over £1 million in 2025/26 - and you can help build on this as we move into the next chapter of the organisation.

About Us 

The Peak District is the UK's oldest National Park — a landscape of moorlands, dales, farmland and villages that holds a special place in the hearts of millions. But like protected landscapes across the country, it faces real and growing pressures: from climate change, habitat loss, and threats to the Park’s heritage, to barriers that prevent many communities from connecting with it. At the Foundation, we fund and deliver projects to:

- Protect our peatlands: some of the most degraded upland peatland in Europe
- Restore nature and support biodiversity
- Connect people and communities to nature
- Improve access: repairing degraded paths and improving access for those with disabilities 
- Protect the Park’s irreplaceable heritage sites 

We are a small, supportive team who value collaboration, curiosity, kindness and getting stuck in. We love the Peak District and we work with partners, communities and experts to deliver meaningful, lasting impact.

About the role 

This role is broad and varied. You will look after a mixed portfolio of supporters and prospects and take the lead on building a pipeline of potential supporters, creating high impact proposals and pitches, and building long-term meaningful relationships with grant makers, businesses and individual donors. Just as importantly, you will grow a genuine community of supporters who feel personally connected to the Park - through appeals and other ways for people to get involved - and you will have the opportunity to explore and develop new fundraising streams to support the Foundation’s long-term sustainability. 

We are looking for a talented individual with excellent relationship building skills and a passion for the Park to enhance and maximise the fundraising potential at the Foundation. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, proactive and imaginative fundraiser to make real impact and drive growth.

Join one of the South West's most ambitious and community-focused theatres.

At The Roses Theatre, we believe that great theatre can transform lives, strengthen communities and create opportunities for people of all backgrounds to connect, participate and thrive. As a charity, accessibility, creativity, inclusion and community impact are at the heart of everything we do.

We're looking for a Development Manager (or Fundraising Manager)to help grow fundraising income, strengthen supporter relationships and secure investment in our artistic, participation and community programmes.

Working closely with the CEO, trustees, Marketing Manager and colleagues across the organisation, you'll lead our individual giving and donor development activity while helping to grow support from trusts, foundations, corporate partners and major supporters. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious fundraising professional looking to take the next step in their development career.

Whether you're currently working as a Development Officer, Fundraising Officer or Development Executive, or you've built experience in individual giving, corporate fundraising or trusts and foundations fundraising, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your skills and make a significant impact within a supportive and ambitious organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the growth of individual giving, patron schemes and donor development initiatives.
• Build, steward and maintain strong relationships with supporters, donors and corporate partners.
• Research, develop and manage applications to trusts and foundations.
• Identify and develop new fundraising opportunities and income streams.
• Work with colleagues and trustees to deliver successful fundraising campaigns and events.
• Monitor, evaluate and report on fundraising activity and supporter engagement.

We're looking for someone who is an excellent relationship-builder, organised, proactive and passionate about connecting people to meaningful causes. Experience in fundraising, development, donor stewardship, philanthropy, corporate partnerships or trusts and foundations work would be valuable, but we're equally interested in people with transferable skills and the drive to learn and grow. We definitely don't expect you will have experience in all areas of fundraising - though it's a bonus if you do!

If you're motivated by helping a charity deliver creative, community-focused work and want to play a key role in shaping the future of a thriving regional theatre, we'd love to hear from you.

• Experience managing and growing large-scale public fundraising programmes.
• Strong knowledge and understanding of legacy fundraising and its strategic value within a diversified fundraising portfolio.
