  • 4 people are interested

Bridging Beyond is committed to nurturing compassionate connections and understanding in order to help people transcend the ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic divides that prevent community bonds.

Compassionate connections are vital in fostering a genuinely inclusive and mutually beneficial community. Research confirms the profound impact of strengthening community ties, enhancing mental well-being, happiness, education, economic prosperity, and reducing isolation and crime.

Bridging Beyond's work is focused primarily in the London boroughs of Hackney and Islington for this role we welcome applications from local residents and others residing in the UK who can help support our mission.

Fundraising Volunteers play a crucial role in supporting this mission by securing essential financial resources through bid writing, and donor engagement.

Volunteers should have the following skills-

  • Experience in fundraising, bid writing, or donor relations and/or appropriate transferable skills
  • Ability to write fluently, persuasively and professionally in English.
  • Ability to research and identify potential funding sources.
  • Organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Passion for community building and social inclusion.
  • Proficiency with IT, including internet searching, email, Google Workspace, and basic database understanding.
  • Comfort with phone and video communication and working productively with both external and internal parties.
  • Capacity to weigh complex factors in decision-making.
  • Creativity in developing fundraising campaigns and events.

Volunteers will work as part of a team to-

  • Develop and implement effective fundraising strategies and campaigns.
  • Research and pursue grant opportunities and other funding sources.
  • Build and maintain relationships with donors and supporters.
  • Organise fundraising events and activities.
  • Track and report on fundraising progress and outcomes.

Each week you will contribute to a rolling programme of bid writing where you will be supported by the Fundraising Lead and given guidance and detail of our programmes and goals to help us submit compelling applications to trusts and grant makers.

About Bridging Beyond

Location:

Newington Green Alliance, 128 City Road, London, Greater London EC1V2NX, GB

Mission Statement

We cultivate empathy and understanding across differences.

Description

Our vision
Our vision is to help people live more connected, satisfying, caring lives in community.

Our strategy
To achieve our bold goals, we approach 'bridging’ with a scientific point of view. Our methods are rooted in research showing that empathy is a key driver of social cohesion and trust. By fostering active listening, curiosity, and compassionate dialogue, we help individuals and groups challenge biases, reduce conflict, and build bridges across divides.

Based on the findings of our research team, we have developed a series of workshops with specific methodologies towards building empathy. We are offering these workshops together with strategic partners in different communities based in the London boroughs of Hackney and Islington.

Bridging Beyond is the working name of Newington Green Alliance
