Our client is supporting vulnerable women and families facing unexpected pregnancy or pregnancy loss. Through supported housing, a helpline and counselling service, and practical, non-judgemental support, the charity helps pregnant women, often aged 16-25 and in crisis due to homelessness, abuse, or other trauma, build safer, more stable futures. Grounded in the universal values of Humanity, Solidarity, Community, Charity and the Common Good, this charity is strengthening philanthropy to increase impact nationwide. The team is now looking to appoint a Head of Fundraising (Philanthropy), and Prospectus is leading the search. All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.
