Net Zero Carbon Freelance Fundraiser - St Giles' Pontefract

The Vicar and PCC of St Giles' Pontefract is seeking a freelance fundraiser to identify and apply for strategic Net Zero Carbon fundraising opportunities across a cluster of parishes in the Pontefract area. This is an exciting and unique opportunity for the right candidate with a passion for sustainability to investigate new and imaginative ways in which to further the work of NZC by looking at how our historical buildings can be leading the way as we strive to protect our environment.

Net Zero Strategic Fundraising Manager - North East dioceses cluster

In line with the Church of England’s national route map, the Dioceses of Durham, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and York are collaborating on this joint ambition to achieve net zero by 2030 across the area. Each diocese has developed a detailed Net Zero Carbon Action Plan to decarbonise their churches, other buildings and schools, and each has taken its own approach to fundraising. Whilst the national Church of England is providing some financial support towards this extensive programme of net carbon zero work, all parts of the Church will need to raise additional funds to implement this plan. We are now seeking an experienced fundraiser to work alongside the NE cluster and lead a strategic approach to NZC fundraising across the whole area, by accessing statutory bodies, grant-making trusts and other sources willing to finance net zero and other environmental improvement activities.
