Capital Appeal Lead
Department:
Fundraising
Who We are Looking For:
UK Youth is seeking an exceptional, strategic fundraiser to lead a landmark Capital Appeal that will shape the future of Avon Tyrrell – our flagship Outdoor Learning Centre, in the heart of the New Forest in Hampshire.
You will lead the charge to raise £3.5 million to build a cutting-edge Experiential Learning and Sports Centre – a transformative new facility that will bridge a vital gap in our offer. While the historic Grade I-listed Avon Tyrrell Manor House provides inspiring accommodation, it lacks the dedicated communal space needed for dynamic group learning, inclusive physical activity, and evening programmes. This new centre will change that – creating a flexible, fully-accessible space where young people can grow in confidence, develop essential socio-emotional and life skills, and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
And the impact will reach far beyond our site. The centre will be a valuable resource for the local community, offering schools (many of which lack suitable indoor facilities) and grassroots groups access to a space where young people can learn, move, and thrive.
By enhancing our accessibility, sustainability and year-round offer, this transformative development will enable Avon Tyrrell to continue supporting over 25,000 young people each year – now and for generations to come.
“I am enough” – these words, shared by a young person engaged in our UK Youth Adventures Away from Home programme, run at Avon Tyrrell, capture the heart of what we do. As the leader of this Appeal, you will help create more moments like this, empowering young people to build their skills and confidence through outdoor learning.
To succeed, you will inspire and mobilise a wide network of supporters – major donors, Trusts, corporate partners and strategic stakeholders – who share our belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to unlock their full potential through connection with nature, challenge, and community.
Hours: Full Time – 12-month FTC Salary: £54,000 – £57,000 DOE Location: Hybrid · Bournemouth, UK
