We are seeking to appoint a Fundraising Manager to join our talented staff team. This is a position that can be delivered remotely, based at the Brass Bands England HQ in Barnsley or as a hybrid role. Members of the team are currently based in locations across the UK including Edinburgh, Surrey, Derbyshire, Manchester, Yorkshire.
CEO Kenny Crookston commented “This role is currently being advertised due to the impending departure of our current Fundraising Manager Pamela Johnson at the end of the year. We are incredibly grateful for everything that Pam has achieved in the time she has been with us, providing invaluable expertise for bands and Brass Bands England itself. We wish Pam the best of luck with all her future endeavours and look forward to welcoming a new member of the team to follow on from the outstanding start she has made in establishing BBE’s Fundraising Service for member bands.”
The part-time role is funded by a grant from the Backstage Trust until December 2024, with the potential to extend, subject to further funding. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with experience working in a voluntary, arts or charitable environment, with experience of raising funds via trusts and foundations and other income sources. Working as a key member of the Brass Bands England team, the post holder will be responsible for delivering BBE’s Fundraising Service - providing advice, guidance and bid-writing support for our growing membership of brass bands. This will include delivering cases for support and writing grant applications on behalf of member brass bands.
Fundraising Manager Pam Johnson commented “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at Brass Bands England and supporting the member bands over 2022. I hope that the webinar resources created and the Fundraising Service itself will serve as a solid foundation for success going forward”.
