Who are Guts UK Charity?

People are suffering. People are dying. All because of a lack of knowledge about our guts. 

Guts UK is the only charity that covers all of the digestive system, from ‘top to tail’ covering the gut, the liver and the pancreas. Guts UK works actively and collaboratively with other charities. However, with our own limited resources, we choose to focus particularly on the conditions that have no other specific charity or voice - those illnesses that really are underserved such as pancreatitis, diverticular disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), childhood gut and liver disease and digestive cancers.

You will work closely with the Senior Fundraising Manager and our CEO to identify, cultivate and steward these high value partners.

Who we’re looking for?
The successful candidate will be an experienced, relationship-focused fundraiser, excited by the opportunity to play a key part in elevating our fundraising programme.

You will pride yourself on outstanding stewardship, relationship building and prospect development and have a wealth of experience securing multi-year grants and long-term support from trusts, foundations and corporate partners.
