- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately, once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world.

Zarach is the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty in England, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and a chance to break the cycle of poverty.
Since we were formed in 2017, and registered as a charity in 2018, we have gone on to provide bed bundles to almost 9,000 children through our partnerships with schools who make referrals to us to support their most vulnerable children.
Our cause and story have captured the nation’s attention, and we have been provided with an incredible national platform that has seen us appear on local and national TV, on radio and in the national press. This has included appearances on BBC Breakfast, Channel 4 News, Radio 5 Live and The Independent newspaper supported our Christmas 2023 appeal, culminating in Zarach being the front-page story on Christmas Day.
In our short history we have received continual funding support from a range of charitable Trusts & Foundations, as a vital part of our overall income and resources mix.
With over 4.3 million children in the UK living in poverty – including 1 million experiencing destitution and around 900,000 living in bed poverty – we have an aspiration to reach more children, in more areas of high need across the country.
To further develop our areas of activity, we are looking for an experienced and successful Trusts & Foundations professional to join our team. We are committed to building our capacity in this area of work so we can look to securing increased income from smaller and larger scale, local and national funders, and via one-off, single-year and multiple-year funding.

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.

There are 1.5 million children and young people with a disability (CYPD) in the UK. Over three quarters cannot access regular leisure facilities which massively impacts their health and well-being. Furthermore, the impact of living with a disability can have a significant impact on the wider family, with over 72% of parents reporting mental health challenges and over two thirds saying they feel isolated some or all of the time.
Gympanzees’ mission is simple. We want all children and young people living with a disability to have access to high-quality, fully inclusive leisure facilities so that they can enjoy fun, fitness, and friendships and support their families out of isolation.
Sounds simple, but it’s a huge task. There is nowhere in the UK like this. Anywhere. At all. But we’re changing that, and we want you to join us!
Since 2018 we’ve been hosting Pop Up’s during easter and summer months, across Bristol, in various special schools which has seen us welcome over 23,500 visitors. Each one has helped hone and improve our delivery model, and longer-term plans. These Pop Ups have seen some incredible firsts, including:
· A 6 year old taking their first steps
· A 12 year old sleeping through the night for the first time
· A 3 year old having his first laugh
· An 8 year old rolling over for the first time
Families have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the Pop Ups, some covering 6-hour journeys just for their afternoon of fun!
During COVID we quickly adapted our offer to include a Lending Library which continues to this day, offering nearly 300 items of specialist equipment, free of charge.
In 2023 we purchased a new site to develop into a permanent home which will open in summer 2026. Redevelopment is underway, and so too is an £8 million campaign to support this extraordinary project.
This will be a game changer for the children and families we support. Truly transformational and life changing. Want to be part of it?
