Bristol, United Kingdom Love Squared Full time

**FUNDRAISING LEAD**

**Vision**

At Love Squared, our vision is a society where imagination, love, and endless possibilities are the everyday words that people associate with child and family services. It is a vision where young people can walk into their futures with joy.

**What we do**

Love Squared want to bring love to children and families’ services. We don’t think it’s enough to care a bit, you have to care a lot if you want to transform outcomes.

We provide imaginative, carefully curated and case managed programmes for children and families with social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH). We believe that education and wellbeing are fundamentally linked and you can’t change long term outcomes without looking at issues holistically. We work with the whole family as much as possible, and for us it’s about long-term change, not short term outcomes.

We are on a mission to ensure that no child or family has to lose out on a world of potential because of mental health, which means they can’t access school or find it hard to make friends. We might not be able to change the past, and we don’t have magic wands, but we do believe that every child and family has the right to get services designed and delivered for their individual needs, and with love and imagination.

We work with children and young people at both primary and secondary school age who are impacted because of mental health. They often have a diagnosed mental health condition or are waiting for a diagnosis, and it is often correlated with a history of trauma or psychological distress, or another disability, learning need, or physical illness. Sometimes, they have not had a diagnosis but are experiencing significant degrees of anxiety and this has led to behavioural changes, self-harming or suicidal thoughts. Many of the children we work with are also affected by issues such as domestic violence, abuse, identity issues, bullying and many are young carers.

Whilst each child is affected differently, common issues that we see are: Problems accessing school either through non-attendance, or difficulty focusing and thriving at school, difficulties making friends leading to significant social isolation, issues with confidence and self-esteem which can lead to difficulties leaving the house or even their rooms for days at a time, suicidal attempts or ideation, self-harm, difficulties accessing support and help from statutory services, and panic attacks. Such disadvantage has long-term impact on outcomes in education, mental health, health and employment.

We want to make three key differences:
1. Improved mental health.

2. Reduced social isolation

3. Increased ability to thrive at school.

**Role and Responsibilities**

Our growing charity is seeking a new Fundraising Lead to join a passionate, hard working team. We are looking for the right person to assist us in securing funds for our organisation primarily via trust and corporate fundraising.
