Who We Are
The Revitalise Trust exists to serve, resource and revitalise the Church in its mission to reach the unchurched, make disciples and transform society by growing vibrant, Jesus-centred, Spirit-filled churches in every community. To date, the Trust has helped plant 200 churches across the UK and beyond and train up and support hundreds of church leaders. As a charity, the Trust is entirely dependent on the generosity of donors to support its work.
This is a key role within the Revitalise Trust, that works collaboratively with others in the team and across the organisation to help raise the necessary funds to support the work of the Trust, supporting and managing a portfolio of existing donors and sourcing and securing new ones, working particularly closely with the Head of UK Fundraising.
