Context and Background The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives our Income Generation team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse. We’ve been here for children for over 100 years. From our campaigns to our services- we strive to make a difference in everything we do. Between 2016 and 2021, we’ve helped make 6.6 million children safer from abuse. Within the Income Generation Directorate our aim is to maximise resources for the NSPCC’s mission by raising funds, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term relationships between donors and our cause. To continue to deliver our mission we rely on the fundraising support of people across the UK for 90% of our annual income. We are looking to significantly grow our income in new and innovative ways. To achieve this growth, we need the very best team in place to deliver to ambitious targets.
