Registered Manager Jobs

Job Purpose: 

Pelican Parcels has grown from supporting 500 children in our first year, to now helping over 5,700 annually. We have been able to grow at this incredible rate due to the amazing people and organisations across Brighton and Hove. Our fundraising pipeline is overflowing, and our network of supporters continues to grow each year. 

We now need to bring in an enthusiastic fundraiser to work alongside our experienced volunteers and trustees, helping us strengthen and grow these relationships.

The Fundraising Manager will implement our fundraising plan. We have been successful in securing all funds needed for 2024/25, so this role will:

• Work with the team and Trustees to drive income and secure the annual targets

• Oversee fundraising for individual giving, community and events, companies and trusts and foundations, and deliver all aspects of these fundraising strands, with support from the fundraising trustees.

• Ensure all fundraising activity is delivered in an effective and integrated way.

• Ensure existing donors, as well as new prospects are nurtured.

• Work with the two fundraising trustees who will continue to have capacity to support fundraising 

We are looking for an efficient fundraiser, someone who is willing to get stuck in and join our warm and enthusiastic team and to work closely with our two fundraising trustees. Importantly, we are looking for someone who can demonstrate they are passionate about wanting to help local children and families living in poverty.

We are a Disability Confident Committed Employer committed to actively promoting and implementing equality of opportunity in all that we do. We value diversity and treat everyone fairly and equally. We ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible and welcome applications from all backgrounds. 

This job description is a guide to the nature of the work required of the prospective employee. It is neither wholly comprehensive nor restrictive and therefore does not preclude change or development that will inevitably be required in the future.

So again I just want to say a huge Thank you again for your generosity it has really helped me and my baby more than you would imagine. <3  I plan to donate once my  baby has grown out of his clothes.”  Mum - Leanne

Our Fundraising Plans

Funding has been achieved so far from diverse sources including Brighton and Hove City Council, individuals (from a few pounds to thousands), a range of trusts and foundations and companies.

We now wish to grow our fundraising programme in response to the demand we are seeing to help more families. 

Our income has continued to grow. In 2022/2023 income was £90k, up from £38k in just 2 years. We raised £190k in 2023/2024 and have already raised over £220k for 2024/25. 

We know we need to continue to grow to meet demand for our service. We need a bigger warehouse (we have plans to move in early 2025) and additional staff soon afterwards. We have built up reserves to support 3 months of operations costs and the warehouse move of £117k.

We plan to grow our turnover to £250k by 2026/2027. We have already secured 25% of what is needed for 25/26 and 20% for 26/27. 

ROLE BACKGROUND

Our trustees Carla Pannett and Lucy Stone take the lead on fundraising for the Charity. Carla and Lucy will continue to support this work and role.

Lucy leads on Trusts and Foundation relationships alongside Brighton and Hove City Council funding applications. We feel confident with our level of work and growth in these areas. We have a number of multiple year funders confirmed, a range of funders who fund annually following applications and a pipeline of new trusts. 

Carla leads on corporate partnerships, individual giving, community and events fundraising. We believe there is more growth possible here which is why the role will focus heavily in these areas. One-off and regular donations continue to be made.

We have just completed a crowdfunding campaign in August 2024. £42,198 + Gift Aid (so far) has been raised during the ‘Children in Brighton & Hove need your help’ crowdfunder. It has been a smashing success due to 192 supporters, raising our profile across the city and beyond. This was a mix of trusts and foundation, individual and corporate giving. We want to ensure that we make the most of relationships developed during the crowdfunder.
