Current Opportunities

About Us

 

We are a new mission-driven Community Interest Company dedicated to early intervention against online harms and the prevention of child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSEA) and violence against women and girls (VAWG). Rooted in a behavioural science approach combined with systems thinking, we want to understand the contemporary online context for children and young people and pathways to engaging with harmful content, develop evidence-based interventions which support healthier sexual and social development, and create safer communities through primary and secondary prevention.

 

Role Overview

 

We are seeking a passionate and proactive Volunteer Fundraising Lead to help us grow our income and strengthen our financial sustainability. This is a key voluntary role for someone with a background in fundraising who wants to use their skills to make a measurable difference in a sensitive but vital area of public benefit, increasingly recognised as an urgent issue and one in receipt of growing governmental attention.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

• Develop and lead a fundraising strategy aligned with our mission and values
• Identify and research suitable grant, trust, and foundation opportunities
• Draft and submit funding applications in collaboration with the CIC’s director
• Build relationships with potential donors, funders, and community partners
• Explore and recommend individual giving, crowdfunding, and corporate support options
• Track fundraising performance and maintain basic reporting for transparency and impact
• Contribute to funding-related communications (e.g., case for support, impact updates)
   

What We’re Looking For

 

• Experience in fundraising (professional or voluntary), especially in small or early-stage organisations
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong organisational skills and ability to work independently
• Commitment to safeguarding, sensitivity, and ethical fundraising
• Alignment with the CIC’s mission and core values of safety, empathy, collaboration, innovation, and integrity
• Understanding of confidentiality, discretion, and working with potentially sensitive subject matter
   

Time Commitment

 

Approximately 5-15 hours per month

Flexible schedule, with occasional online meetings
 

What We Offer

 

• A meaningful opportunity to contribute to the protection of children from online harms, as well as a CSEA and VAWG prevention mission
• Flexible, remote working with supportive leadership
• Recognition in reports and communications
• A reference or endorsement after three months of active volunteering
• The chance to shape fundraising strategy at an early and impactful stage of growth
