Job description

Help us build connections, reduce loneliness, and create communities where people in later life truly belong.
Lead fundraising and partnerships for a relational charity making a meaningful difference every day.

Evergreen Care UK is a values-led charity rooted in a Christian ethos, supporting people in later life to stay connected, independent, and valued. Through our community cafés and services, we create welcoming spaces where relationships flourish, and people feel a genuine sense of belonging. We welcome people of all faiths and none, guided by our values of Compassion, Dignity, Connection and Trust.

We are now looking for a Fundraising & Partnerships Lead to play a vital role in sustaining and growing this work. This is an exciting opportunity to shape our income generation while also being hands-on, building relationships, securing funding, and helping us tell our story with clarity and impact.

About the role

Working closely with the CEO and wider team, you will develop and deliver a sustainable fundraising and partnerships approach that supports Evergreen’s long-term vision.

You will:

  • Develop and implement a fundraising and partnerships strategy aligned with our mission
  • Secure income through trusts and foundations, statutory sources, corporate partnerships, and community fundraising
  • Research, write and manage high-quality funding applications and reports
  • Build and nurture strong relationships with funders, churches, businesses and supporters
  • Act as an ambassador for Evergreen across the community and at events
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to gather impact stories and data
  • Track income, manage records and report progress effectively

A relational and enabling role

As a small charity, how we work matters as much as what we do. This role is not just about delivering fundraising—it’s about building capacity and community.

You will:

  • Create meaningful opportunities for volunteers to contribute to fundraising activity
  • Support and empower others to play a part in sustaining Evergreen’s work
  • Balance hands-on delivery with enabling shared ownership and long-term sustainability

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be someone who combines strong fundraising capability with a relational, values-led approach.

We’re looking for:

  • Experience securing income through fundraising, grants, partnerships or similar
  • Excellent written communication skills and the ability to tell compelling stories
  • Confidence in building and maintaining relationships with a wide range of stakeholders
  • Strong organisation and the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • An understanding of ethical fundraising and data protection
  • Alignment with our Christian ethos and values

Why join Evergreen?

This is a unique opportunity to join a small, passionate team where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You’ll help shape the future of the organisation while enabling more people in later life to experience connection, dignity and belonging.
