Guts UK is a totally different charity to the one we were five years ago.
We serve more people than ever before with our information services, and have a thriving and growing community of supporters. We have created a real digital presence, a passionate and engaged community with digital content and excellent relationship building. We know so much about our community that we’re now ready to grow with a proactive, fundraising strategy to take our mission to the next level. That’s why we need you, our Fundraising Manager.
This position is key to the growth of Guts UK charity; attracting new donors to support Guts UK’s mission and ensuring they receive exceptional supporter experience, and in turn, optimising the value of our supporter database.
