Job Summary
This year, as many as 600 families in the UK will learn that their child has only half a working heart. These children have one of the most complex heart conditions, and there is no cure. Families in this situation need care and support to understand the information, make important treatment decisions, and meet the everyday challenges of living with half a heart can bring.
Little Hearts Matter exists to wrap a blanket of understanding and care around families at every stage of their half a heart journey. Without donations, Little Hearts Matter would not be able to offer our services, free of charge, to support individuals and families across the UK. Our fundraising team is essential to raising these vital funds—over £440,000 annually. A better future for seriously ill children starts with you, our Fundraising Manager, within our three-person fundraising team.
