Allsorts is a well-established and highly respected charity, committed to tackling the persistent inequalities faced by disabled children, young people and their families. These inequalities span access to rights, support and opportunity. Working across Gloucestershire, we ensure that families from all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented or facing additional challenges, can access the support they need to thrive.
We are now seeking an experienced, ambitious and strategic fundraising leader to play a pivotal role in shaping our future. This is an exciting opportunity to lead, stabilise and grow our income generation, enabling us to deliver on our vision and deepen our impact.
Working alongside the CEO and Senior Leadership Team, you will shape and deliver a bold, sustainable income strategy that underpins our long‑term ambitions. You will take ownership of an already established and strong multi‑year funding pipeline, securing income from trusts, foundations and commissioned services, while also driving diversification of income streams and strengthening our external profile.
This role offers the chance to make a tangible difference in a dynamic fundraising landscape. It will suit a confident, proactive self‑starter who thrives on responsibility, identifies and seizes opportunities, builds meaningful partnerships, and delivers measurable results. You will bring both strategic insight and hands‑on expertise, taking responsibility for income growth and sustainability.
Approximately 70% of your focus will be on securing multi‑year grants, trusts and commissioned income. The remaining 30% will be dedicated to growing community‑led fundraising, individual giving, legacy income and enhancing brand visibility.
You will be supported by an experienced, collaborative CEO and Senior Leadership Team, all united by a shared commitment to creating lasting change in the lives of disabled children, young people and their families.
