A truly exciting post, working alongside the Chief Executive and key members of the Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team, to deliver the necessary annual revenue income of circa £2m for the newest Youth Zone in the OnSide network, WEST. WEST is embedded within and supporting the community around the Youth Zone, one of the most deprived in London. It also sits on the doorstep of affluent neighbourhoods (Holland Park, Notting Hill, Kensington, Hammersmith, Chiswick and Barnes), a thriving business and enterprise neighbourhood in White City’s Innovation District, and a landscape of development and investment including Earls Court and Park Royal. This represents a wonderful opportunity for the Fundraising team to engage with those residents and businesses in support of the Youth Zone’s goals, building on an existing strong donor base and pipeline. This is a senior leadership role, which is both strategic and operational. You will be responsible for evolving the highly successful income strategy for this new charity and leading the operational fundraising team. A key function of the role will be the stewardship and renewal of WEST’s Founder Patrons, a group of 45 donors (and growing) who have committed at least £25,000 p.a. for four years to provide a solid baseline of income for the Youth Zone. You will also be responsible for a programme of acquisition, most notably the recruitment of new major donors, local corporates and charitable trusts to meet the ongoing revenue demands now that WEST is established. Onside is a national charity with a proven track record of opening and supporting state-of-the-art youth zones. WEST is an independent charity, part of this national family. As such you will benefit from the impact evaluation already carried out elsewhere, and network of experienced professionals keen to share knowledge, contacts, experience and best practice.
