About FarmAbility: FarmAbility is a local independent charity committed to improving the quality of lives through access to meaningful activities for adults who have a learning disability. We deliver farming and horticultural-based programmes in partnership with community-based and local farms and gardens. These programmes offer people who have a learning disability the opportunity to engage in daily purposeful activities that improve physical and mental health and wellbeing, foster a sense of community, and allow the development and strengthening of their skills and abilities.
Position Overview: We are recruiting to fill a new, National Lottery funded post to support the development of our fundraising capacity. We are looking for a person with experience in organizing community fundraising campaigns, regular giving schemes, and writing applications to small and medium trusts and foundations. We want someone who has enthusiasm for our work, which they can translate into the written and spoken word to help generate support for our activities in different fundraising environments.

FarmAbility is a warm and friendly place to work, placing a strong emphasis on creating strong team relationships and a flexible, accommodating work environment. All staff share our goal of a more inclusive society and a determination to enable co-farmers to achieve positive outcomes and experiences within our service.
