This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful impact and grow the charity's range of products that engage with existing and potential supporters.

The charity's existing programme includes events, challenge events, partnerships with corporates, community groups, and individuals, and a long-running Bridge League and Collection Tins Champions and Celebration Giving products.

The current programme will see the charity engage with more than 1,400 individuals and organisations and raise £350k, but there is huge potential to grow both engagement and income.

Requirements:

  • Experience of planning and delivering a successful community and events fundraising programme.
  • Proven experience of building reach and engagement across a range of events or other fundraising activities.
  • Understanding of fundraising regulations, health and safety requirements, and general laws.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with an understanding of the impact of good storytelling.

  • Experience of using a CRM and the importance of using this data to provide insights and guidance.

About Cherry Trees:

Cherry Trees provides a lifeline for families through its home-from-home care for children with complex disabilities and its wrap-around support for the family.

Last year, the charity supported 70 children from 63 families through 52,750 hours of care, including 1,551 sleepovers and 633 day visits.

The charity also ran activity days, hosted parent/carer wellbeing days, and provided small but vital financial grants through their Welfare Fund.

Why Merrifield Consultants?

Merrifield Consultants is committed to a diverse and inclusive recruitment process that ensures equal opportunity for all.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds and will ensure measures are met when required to allow a fair process throughout.
