Fundraising and Engagement Officer

We are an ambitious and innovative charity committed to 'unlocking potential with young people and their communities'. Building on an established reputation of successful youth work and other services, Space is seeking to support even more young people by developing current and new services and increasing the scope of what we do. Space's core values are:

• Integrity - doing what's right even when no one is looking
• Respect - interacting with fairness, kindness and dignity
• Determination - we give people a second chance and a third, fourth
• Collaborative - doing great things together and with others
• Accountable - managing risk, taking responsibility and be accountable to each other and our stakeholders
• Dynamic - creating fun and a little bit of weirdness
What is the role In this varied and dynamic role you will work within a small, collaborative team and across the wider organisation. You will support the Business Development and Fundraising Lead to develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising strategy across a full range of income streams. You will research and locate new avenues of funding, grants, and income opportunities, initiating fundraising activities and events that reflect both local and county-wide aims. A core part of this role is working alongside local teams, guiding and enthusing colleagues across multiple sites to notice and capture the incredible impact they have on young people, and translating those grassroots success stories into powerful, data-informed cases for support and successful grant application
