Head of Fundraising and Marketing @Base 51
Nottingham, GB
Base 51 has been supporting the young people of Nottingham since 1993 initially in response to the lack of sexual health provision for young people, and in recognition that young peoples’ wellbeing is more than just addressing their physical health needs, but is about their whole person. Base 51 provides a safe space for people aged 11-24, with counselling, group support, a youth club, LGBTQIA support group, employability services, training.According to the Youth Opportunities Index Nottingham ranks as the worst place to live if you are a young person, there are over 17,500 children living in poverty in the City wards, and with the ongoing cost of living crisis that number is set to rapidly increase; at Base 51 we are braced for a surge in demand for our services however government funding has recently been cut.I have been employed to:Build relationships with local businesses to create mutually beneficial partnershipsOrganise fundraising events throughout NottinghamIncrease funding to the charityManage marketing for the charity (print, digital and social media)
