We’ve grown to be one of the largest ‘baby banks’ in the UKsupporting over 11,000 children since we launched in 2016Little Village is already making a huge impact with families living in poverty in London. In 2020 we massively increased our reach – doubling the number of babies, young children and their parents we support year-on-year.

We are looking for a creative and skilled fundraiser with proven success in at least one of the following: community fundraising, individual giving or trusts & foundations. You will embrace digital and the role it needs to play in fundraising. You need to love working with others, including volunteers, to achieve our goals. As a small organisation, building a new team, we are looking for someone happy to work across the breadth of fundraising and to work collaboratively and creatively with the whole team.
