Their research-led approach has established them as a leading authority on literacy, helping to change life stories and create opportunities for those who need them most.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated fundraiser to develop their experience across events, individual giving and community fundraising within one of the UK's most respected charities. Working closely with the Senior Development Manager, you'll help deliver a varied portfolio of fundraising activity, including challenge events, community fundraising initiatives and supporter engagement programmes.
