Role Overview 

We are seeking a passionate and proactive Volunteer Fundraising Lead to help us grow our income and strengthen our financial sustainability.

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
