Fundraising Manager

Community fundraising was new to YMCA Crewe in 2019 and since then, we have developed new fundraising activities, corporate partnerships, and online giving. As we begin to Expand our Reach into Cheshire, we have ambitions to grow and develop these income streams, as well as our in-kind donations, public profile, and supporter base. We also have ambitions to run fundraising events and challenges throughout the year, to help generate unrestricted income and provide more ways for people to support our work. We are, therefore, looking for somebody who can bring enthusiasm, ambition, and innovation to push our fundraising efforts even further. The role will include working with other community organisations, including schools, voluntary and public sector organisations, and local businesses. The postholder will build new connections, try new ideas, and shape the work we do in the community. Additionally, they will have access to a Fundraising Network to gain peer support, ideas, and potentially partner on larger fundraising projects. We are looking for someone who: • Has previous experience of fundraising in the Charity Sector, • Is creative and ambitious in their approach to fundraising, • Has the highest aspirations for people of all backgrounds, • Retains a positive attitude in the face of daily challenges, • Can work well as part of a team, whilst having a strong independent work ethic. We are passionate and enthusiastic about our work and love an energetic “can do” attitude in staff!
