Position Summary 

This is an incredible time to be joining FoodCycle. It’s our 10th year and in that time we have served 1 million meals to people who are hungry and lonely. We have 39 Projects around the country supported by an excellent team of Regional Managers who provide training to volunteers to ensure our meals are consistently served every week to vulnerable people.

You will have the opportunity to find the essential funds to ensure each Project is funded and that we can continue to provide the best possible service to our guests. As our Projects are spread throughout the country you will research and apply to a wide variety of trusts and foundations and manage a portfolio of funders. You will be supported by an excellent fundraising team who have a great track record in securing income.

You will already have had success at applying for grants at an existing charity. Ideally that charity will be working in community or poverty prevention and you will understand what it takes to write a really compelling grant application.
