Would you like to be part of an award-winning children’s charity that makes a real difference every single day? Sebby’s Corner is growing, and we are looking for a proactive, relationship-focused Fundraiser to join our small, friendly team. This is a hands-on role, perfect for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work, and wants to see the direct impact of what they do. If you enjoy building relationships, spotting opportunities and following things through from idea to delivery, this could be the role for you. This is a hands-on role that brings together community fundraising, corporate partnerships, events and supporter care. You will be the only dedicated fundraising role in the organisation, working closely with the Founder & CEO and the wider team. This role suits someone who enjoys building relationships, getting involved in the detail and seeing things through from idea to delivery.
No two days at Sebby’s Corner look the same. One day you might be speaking to a marathon runner about their fundraising plans, the next planning a corporate volunteering day at the hub or drafting messaging for an upcoming campaign.
Sebby’s Corner is a Barnet-based charity supporting vulnerable families and children living in poverty across London and the South East. We support thousands of families every year with clothing, nappies, formula, school uniforms, birthday gifts and more. In 2024–25, we supported almost 4,000 children and over 2,300 parents, distributing £482,993 worth of essentials.
Your role will include:
- Corporate partnerships – identifying and building relationships with corporate supporters, managing Charity of the Year partnerships and organising volunteering days and packathons at the hub
- Challenge events and community fundraising – supporting and growing participation in events like the Royal Parks Half Marathon, building relationships with fundraisers and making sure they feel valued, supported and properly thanked throughout their journey
- Appeals and campaigns – playing a key role in delivering major fundraising moments such as our Charity Extra appeal, as well as seasonal campaigns like Christmas and Mother’s Day, helping shape messaging and supporter journeys
- Individual giving and supporter care – supporting the CEO with major donor relationships, preparing for meetings, following up and ensuring all supporters receive thoughtful, timely communication and feel connected to our work
- Schools and community engagement – building and maintaining relationships with schools and community groups, supporting fundraising initiatives and ensuring they feel recognised and appreciated
- Events – supporting the planning and delivery of fundraising events, from logistics and coordination through to supporter experience and follow up
- Systems and reporting – using Salesforce to record activity, track income and maintain accurate supporter records, as well as producing simple reports and updates
