Sands exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth.
The Head of Individual Giving will lead the strategic planning and implementation of our individual giving programmes (currently generating in excess of £1.5m) and focusing on regular giving, appeals, lotteries, legacies, in memory, tribute and trading. This is a critical role in the Fundraising and Communications team, ensuring the growth and sustainability of our income while driving supporter engagement and deepening relationships.
This is an exciting new role for the organisation which will have the responsibility for establishing a new dedicated IG function that will build on the existing foundations and mould the team with a new ambitious vision.
Sands is investing in individual giving as a priority area and this role will be pivotal to our ongoing success. The aim is to ensure that through providing a world class supporter experience we continue our exceptional growth and produce long term sustainable income, with integrated cross team planning between individual giving, community fundraising, partnerships, campaigning, marketing and communications.
The role will also be part of the senior leadership team in the income generation department and will be key in helping Sands to continue to develop a programme of innovation and testing to support Sands as a learning organisation and maintain its reputation as a sector leader in fundraising innovation.
