About The Ootsider CIC
Hi, I’m John, the founder of The Ootsider. We are an West Lothian -based social enterprise on a mission to provide warmth, dignity, and comfort to those experiencing rough sleeping. Using a "buy one, give one" model, the profits from our premium, hand-made in Scotland outdoor robes directly fund the production of our bespoke, weather-proof, sleeping coats which we donate free to rough sleepers across the UK.
To help us scale our impact and protect more people from the harsh elements, we are looking for a superstar Volunteer Grant Writer & Fundraiser to join the team and help us secure vital funding.
Why You’ll Love Volunteering With Us
·Ultimate Flexibility: This role is 100% remote. Work from wherever you are comfortable, whenever suits you best.
·Low Time, High Impact: We’re looking for just 8 hours a month (approx. 2 hours a week). It easily fits around a full-time job, studies, or retirement.
·Direct, Tangible Impact: Every successful grant you write translates directly into more sleeping systems manufactured right here in Scotland and delivered to people who need them most. You will see the direct result of your hard work.
What You’ll Be Doing
Working directly with me, you will:
·Research Opportunities: Scout out trusts, foundations, and corporate grants that support homelessness, social enterprise growth, and Scottish community manufacturing.
·Craft Compelling Bids: Take The Ootsider’s proven impact story and weave it into persuasive, professional funding applications.
·Manage the Pipeline: Help keep a simple calendar of upcoming deadlines so we can plan our applications effectively.
What We’re Looking For
·A Passion for the Cause: You care about tackling homelessness and believe in the power of social enterprise.
·Strong Writing Skills: You can write clearly, persuasively, and concisely to meet strict word counts.
·Independence: You are comfortable working on your own initiative, managing your 8 hours a month effectively.
If this sounds like you, then please get in touch.
"Together we can achieve so much more". John
