Community fundraiser for chronic illness charity

Chronically Marvellous is looking for a enthusiastic fundraiser to add to our team, working to support people with chronic illnesses and promote independence.

Welcome to Chronically Marvellous, where we believe that living with chronic conditions should never mean facing life's challenges alone. We are an organisation dedicated to supporting individuals living with chronic illnesses through a range of free services designed to enhance their quality of life.

Our mission is simple: to provide holistic support to individuals with chronic conditions, addressing both their physical and emotional needs. We understand the struggles and hardships that come with chronic illnesses, and we are committed to making a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

Our Services include: BACP Accredited Counselling Service; Support Groups; Helpline; Mobility Equipment Service.

Community Fundraising

Even though we are a small charity we want to make a big difference and would like to draw on your experience in fundraising to help us to grow and support more people.

We are looking for a fundraiser to take the lead on our individual-giving/community stream of fundraising. We have a fundraiser currently who focuses on events and major donors, and our Directors/Trustees have taken the lead with grant applications to Trusts and Foundations. However, we are open to hear from any fundraisers from any type of income stream, as we are looking to diversify our income to maintain sustainability. You will be working closely alongside this group throughout our fundraising journey.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Project manage fundraising opportunities
• Engage new individual supporters and help other volunteers to increase our fundraising opportunities
• Develop donor journey/stewardship plans
• Identify areas where we operate (Richmond, London) which may allow us to grow in our fundraising campaigns
• Manage our digital fundraising platforms, such as Donorbox, Crowdfunder, and Give As You Live
• Maintain records of all donors/donations, in line with GDPR
• Take responsibility for personalised communications with supporters
• Provide reports to the Directors as needed
• Collaborate with the whole organisation - fundraising is everyone's responsibility!

As our Community Fundraiser, you will have:

• Proven experience in fundraising and donor management.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Ability to work independently and in a team.
• Awareness of chronic illnesses and the ability to talk about them to supporters
• Data management and some experience of working on donor platforms/databases
• A passion for empowering our community members to thrive alongside their illnesses.

By volunteering with Chronically Marvellous you will directly impact the lives of individuals living with chronic illnesses. Your help and expertise will enable us to expand our services, reach more individuals in need, and provide essential resources that empower our community members to thrive.

We want to create a world where everyone, regardless of their health challenges, can live life to the fullest.

Please apply through Reach to Tash (Founder) and Steffi (Trustee) and we will contact you for a further chat if you fit the role.

Please send us your CV and a short statement about why you are interested in Chronically Marvellous, and what experience you have for the role.

After shortlisting, we will contact potential fundraisers to offer a Zoom call with the Directors.
