Hampton Pool Trust is recruiting
Fundraising and Outreach Trustee/Director (voluntary role)
We are looking for a Trustee to join Hampton Pool Trust at an exciting time in our history. The role will bring strategic leadership to the fundraising and outreach activities of the Trust as we embark on the first phase of redevelopment of the Hampton Pool building.
As Fundraising and Outreach Director, you will play an important part in securing the future of Hampton Pool for generations to come. Working with a Fundraising and Outreach Committee and reporting to HPT Board, the role will bring leadership to secure the financial resources needed to continue the building project after the initial phase, steering a broad programme of fundraising and outreach activity with the local community. The Hampton Pool Annual Summer Picnic Concerts, our most significant annual fundraising series of events is run by a well established team and this Concerts team reports progress to the Fundraising and Outreach Committee.
The Trust is run on a voluntary basis with the vision to secure the future of the pool for the health and wellbeing of the local community. You will join the Board, Chair the Fundraising and Outreach Committee and liaise closely with the pool operator and construction team to support effective communication during the redevelopment.
The Board and Committee include Trustees and members with relevant specialist skills and a freelance grant writer has been recruited to support grant applications. The person appointed will also be able to call upon the help of Trust volunteers who assist with fundraising events during the year.
Who we are looking for
The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, tenacious, and inclusive. You will have strategic experience in fundraising, bringing your expertise to support our approaches to potential funders, grant giving organisations and the community.
You will have the excellent communication skills needed to explain the work of the Trust to funders and high net worth individuals, adopting appropriate communication channels and style as required. Ideally you will have an understanding of the contribution made to health and wellbeing by swimming and exercise.
Experience of capital fundraising would also be desirable but is not a prerequisite.
Term - Appointments to the Board are usually for a three-year term.
Time commitment - Typically a day per week with some flexibility required. Board meetings are held on weekday evenings (c.8 per year). Event planning and fundraising activities will involve attendance at meetings and events (responsibility for specific events is distributed between committee members)
