The Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket Foundation is seeking a Fundraising & Development Manager to play a key role in delivering its strategic ambition to grow participation in cricket and strengthen community engagement across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This position sits within the Executive team and will lead income generation activity, helping to expand the Foundation’s impact through sustainable funding and partnerships.

About Us

The Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket Foundation is striving to take the game’s existing social impact to new levels and to inspire a passion for cricket in all our communities. Leicestershire & Rutland Cricket Foundation is the official charity of Leicestershire County Cricket Club. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting the game of cricket at all levels and particularly among young people, through partnership and involvement of professional and recreational cricketing bodies, community clubs and other appropriate agencies within Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Despite enjoying a strong track record of community engagement across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to date, including the continued delivery of free cricket programmes in primary schools and increased support for the women and girls’ game in our community-based clubs, there is more to be done. The establishment of the Foundation as its own entity helps us to supercharge our reach and achieve our ambitions of increasing accessibility and participation in cricket across the counties we serve.

About the job

To help us achieve our ambitions, we are seeking to appoint a Fundraising and Development Manager to join our Executive team, and to support the delivery and execution of the cricket participation element of our first strategy. Joining us as a Fundraising and Development Manager will afford you the opportunity to play an important role in supporting the delivery of cricket programmes across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland. Your contribution will help us widen participation and strengthen community engagement in support of the ECB’s Inspiring Generations 2 strategy.

Please provide a specific example of a successful fundraising initiative you have led. Include the type of funding, your role, and the outcome achieved.
