The role will also involve developing and maintaining a Special Events strategy which ensures that the team grows its income to meet the needs of the Home.

About us

Battersea is here for every dog and cat and has been since 1860. We are a leading animal welfare charity and over the last 150 years we’ve grown from one home in London to three rescuing and rehoming centres across the South East. With c500 staff and 1000 volunteers, we have cared for over three million vulnerable animals We also campaign tirelessly to make things better for dogs and cats; sharing our expertise and educating the public and policymakers about responsible pet ownership. Join us and make a difference for every dog and cat.

Our Fundraising Team

Battersea’s multiple award-winning Fundraising department raises around 60% of the Charity’s total income. Working with colleagues across the organisation, we provide members of the public and organisations with opportunities to engage with Battersea and to support our work. Through continued investment, net fundraising income has risen from just £100,000 in 2010 to £13m in 2018, and we aim to reach a net income of £18m by 2020 to make sure Battersea can be here for every cat and dog now and in the future.

This role sits within the Philanthropy and Partnerships unit which works to engage philanthropists and partners to support Battersea’s current and future work; helping them to understand the dramatic difference their donations can make to the work of our charity. The team has been growing and in 2019 will raise over £3.7m (£600k corporate, £1m Special Events, £1.1m Major Donors and £1m Trusts), to enable Battersea to deliver our ambitious strategy.

Company

Established in 1860,  is a charity that aims never to turn away a dog or cat in need of our help.  We reunite lost dogs and cats with their owners; when we can’t do this, we care for them until new homes can be found for them; and we educate the public about responsible pet ownership. Last year we cared for over 7,000 dogs and cats. In addition to the site in South West London, the Home also has two other centres based at Old Windsor, Berkshire and Brands Hatch, Kent.
