Do you want to use your relationship building skills to support a charity which supports and champions the young people of Lancashire?

Chorley Youth Zone, named 'Inspire' by young people, has been providing a safe space for the young people in Chorley to grow and discover their passions and purpose for the past 5 years. While it is a locally run, independent charity, it is part of the OnSide Youth Zone network, which provides support to young people in some of the most disadvantaged areas in the country.

The youth zone is packed with equipment and resources for young people to use to develop new skills and try new activities, and their team of qualified youth workers provide support to vulnerable young people with a range of challenges they may face. The Youth Zone is more than just its amazing equipment; its real impact comes from the exceptional youth work that remains at the core of what the youth zone is all about. Inspire wants to do just that; inspire young people to find themselves and feel as if they belong to something bigger.

About the Role

This role is central to supporting the wider Partnerships Team. Your main responsibilities will involve cultivating relationships with corporate supporters, businesses, and individuals, and inspiring and engaging with these supporters and the local community. You will also be involved in coordinating fundraising events from the very beginning to their delivery, considering budgets, logistics, and sponsorship.

The Corporate and Community Fundraiser will take full ownership of the supporter programme, drawing in new donors and helping existing donors feel well informed and appreciated. You will increase awareness of Inspire Youth Zone through attending events, meetings, and building relationships.

About You

This position will suit someone who has experience in community, corporate/events fundraising, or transferable skills in sales, business development, events or relationship building.
