Volunteer with successful track-record of bid writing needed by the Visually Impaired Sailing Association
Join to apply for the Volunteer with successful track-record of bid writing needed by the Visually Impaired Sailing Association role at Visually Impaired Sailing Association
the Visually Impaired Sailing Association (Visa) breaks down barriers to wellbeing, social interaction, and self-confidence for visually impaired people through participation in coastal sailing as part of a team.
What difference will you make?
* Move to a more resilient and sustainable funding model
* Offer more opportunities to sail and increase our impact
* Develop pathways for visually impaired people to take part in off-shore sailing with other clubs and organisations
* Offer more volunteers the opportunity to develop new skills and the confidence to encourage and enable visually impaired people to participate in sports, recreation, education and employment
You will be supported by passionate and committed trustees and volunteers who assist us with safeguarding, communications, operations, and recruiting and managing volunteers.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for an experienced person who can advise and support us on developing a sustainable funding strategy and on delivering this to assist us to move away from bidding for grants for events and projects toward establishing partnerships and securing funding for core activity and longer term impact. This might be through charitable grants, or corporate or social partnerships. Experience of disability or sports sectors would be of value but is not essential.
What will you be doing?
We are looking for people with a track-record of success in the fundraising sector who can assist us to preparation of bids in the short term and to become more sustainable in the future. Experience of disability or sports sectors would be an advantage as would experience of developing corporate sponsorship or social investment.
We ask that you are able to commit up to 10 days per year which can be done entirely remotely, no in-person attendance required.
We welcome applications from all ages and backgrounds and would love to hear from you. Get in touch if you would like to find out more or send us a summary of your relevant experience.
