Children and young people in London matter; their voices, experiences and futures. They deserve every chance to make the most of their lives. But too many young people can't because they don't have the opportunities to help them thrive. That is where transformational youth work comes in, offering somewhere to go, something to do, someone to trust. The Trusts and Foundations Manager plays a pivotal role in the success of the Fundraising and Communications Directorate, and London Youth as a whole. In line with our fundraising strategy, you will be responsible for securing new five and six-figure corporate partnerships, achieving ambitious personal targets and contributing to our overall fundraising target of £6.9m in 2026. Your focus will be on high-value long-term strategic relationships with businesses generating both restricted and unrestricted funds as well as other non-financial benefits. What you will be doing Develop and maintain an exemplary understanding of the needs of young people and youth organisations in London. Proactively communicate the vision and mission, aims and work of London Youth to funders. Undertake prospect research to identify new funding opportunities that increase restricted and unrestricted income. Collaborate with teams from across London Youth to develop and submit high quality five and six figure applications to trusts, foundations, institutional funders, and livery companies. Work with colleagues to find ways to increase income from existing funders. Meet all KPIs and financial targets. Provide first class stewardship to funders. Maintain up-to-date records on all aspects of fundraising activity on Salesforce and SharePoint and produce regular reports when needed. Ensure agreements are in place with all funders and are recorded in line with our processes. Take responsibility for your ongoing professional development. Commit to and actively promote London Youth's policy and procedures to value and respect diversity and inclusion in all duties and working relationships. Reflect our inclusive culture in your day-to-day work and support a positive health & safety and safeguarding culture in your interactions with colleagues.

Children and young people in London matter; their voices, experiences and futures. They deserve every chance to make the most of their lives. But too many young people can't because they don't have the opportunities to help them thrive. That is where transformational youth work comes in, offering somewhere to go, something to do, someone to trust. The Trusts and Foundations Manager plays a pivotal role in the success of the Fundraising and Communications Directorate, and London Youth as a whole. In line with our fundraising strategy, you will be responsible for securing new five and six-figure corporate partnerships, achieving ambitious personal targets and contributing to our overall fundraising target of £6.9m in 2026. Your focus will be on high-value long-term strategic relationships with businesses generating both restricted and unrestricted funds as well as other non-financial benefits. What you will be doing Develop and maintain an exemplary understanding of the needs of young people and youth organisations in London. Proactively communicate the vision and mission, aims and work of London Youth to funders. Undertake prospect research to identify new funding opportunities that increase restricted and unrestricted income. Collaborate with teams from across London Youth to develop and submit high quality five and six figure applications to trusts, foundations, institutional funders, and livery companies. Work with colleagues to find ways to increase income from existing funders. Meet all KPIs and financial targets. Provide first class stewardship to funders. Maintain up-to-date records on all aspects of fundraising activity on Salesforce and SharePoint and produce regular reports when needed. Ensure agreements are in place with all funders and are recorded in line with our processes. Take responsibility for your ongoing professional development. Commit to and actively promote London Youth's policy and procedures to value and respect diversity and inclusion in all duties and working relationships.
