Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity and exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth.
Sands is recruiting a Senior Community Fundraising Officer to manage the delivery and stewardship of our community groups, schools, local partnerships, volunteers and supporters.
We have recently entered a new strategic period which focuses on fundraising activities within the community. These are integral to Sands’ growth and are a key part of our ongoing aims to increase brand awareness, reach, engagement, income growth and change at a local level. This role is key to the delivery of this strategy.
This is an exciting time to join Sands who are in a period of ambitious growth. This new role is expected to make a valuable contribution to our fundraising strategy and will help to test and deliver new initiatives and opportunities within community fundraising.
The post-holder will be responsible for the management of existing and new community fundraising products, working to ensure that we deliver excellent stewardship with all stakeholders in the community and ensure that activities align with the wider work of Sands.
