Fundraising research and Bid writer to help on strategy

We're looking for someone to help develop a fundraising strategy.

We use video gaming in an innovitive way, to bring disabled people and their families together and develop technology to help people play.

We are in need of a person with a track record of raising funds for small charities. To help write a blueprint on how to research and access grants, to help us effectively write bids and supporting literature to help raise funds for our services.

What our charity does is truly innovative and groundbreaking and how we help the disabled community is unique, however, this throws up the challenge of how to communicate what we do to funders.

Our staff's skills lay outside of promotion and fundraising, though we have people who love what we do and wish to help, but we are unable to offer the guidance needed. We require a person who can bridge the gap between understanding what we do and communicate in a clear and coherent manner to those who could financially support us.

The volunteer will work with our General Manager and will be given full support by staff whenever needed.

Our services are built on innovation and are unique in many ways, trailblazers in both what we do and how we do it and would be open to fundraising ideas that reflect this. We align with the disabled community, the gaming community and the games industry, we know there is great potential to raise funds, but we need help.

We are looking for someone who can develop a fundraising strategy.

Someone with skills in knowing how to find and engage with potential supporters and to work out what supporting material we need in order to help turn meeting into supporting.

We have a limited budget, though having a track record of successfully growing invested resources into financial gain would be imperitive.

The volunteer would need to be able to learn what we achieve and the basics of how we do it.

With your help, we can continue to change the lives of so many disabled people and their families for the better.

Everyone, from the disabled community to the gaming community, from specialist disability schools to the games industry love what we do and how we do it.

However, although we are not short of plaudits from companies such as Google and dignitaries such as the Mayor of Greater Manchester, we are short of funds. We change lives for the better, we need help to continue to do this.

We hope you are the person who can help steer our small charity onto greater things as what we do and what we achieve could and should be a blueprint for a nationwide network, helping disabled people and their families to better integrate into society through the use of technology. We have the knowledge; we just need financial support.

Good work can often go unnoticed. We would like you to help us to get noticed from those who could sustain our future and, ideally, our growth.

Please contact us by Reach. We will be in touch shortly after for a chat. We would ask that people attend a face to face meeting at our Centre in Sale, Manchester.
