Job description
About Made In Hackney
We started life in 2012 as a community cookery school working across London with the mission of tackling the climate crisis, health inequalities and bringing communities together using the power of plants.
The impact of our work is varied, far-reaching and very real; changing hundreds of thousands of people’s lives for the better. We provide diverse culinary education, inspiration and support networks needed to ensure no one is left behind in the transition to a plant-centred, planet-friendly diet.
When you join Made In Hackney – you become part of this pivotal movement, where a new type of food culture is being formed with care, compassion and justice at its core.
About The Role
This is an incredibly exciting, high-impact role within the organisation. As Head of Fundraising you will be part of the Senior Leadership Team and our key fundraiser, critical fundraising strategist and have the scope to influence and shape our programmes.
You have a broad and well-established funder base to jump off from and will have the opportunity to bring in exciting new funders as more environmentally focused grant givers are starting to embrace diet change as a key tool for tackling the climate crisis.
We are looking for someone who can build on the relationships and initiatives developed over the last few years, to ensure Made In Hackney can fulfil its strategic goals and meet our annual income target. You will be instrumental in driving income development and in leading fundraising initiatives with an emphasis on Trusts and Foundations, individual giving, major gift fundraising, corporate giving and statutory bodies such. You will nurture key relationships with existing donors and potential new supporters and build and manage a robust pipeline of supporters.
Made In Hackney has always been a progressive organisation, seeking to change systems that have not served the world thus far, and, as such we seek to build a fair, equitable, inclusive and collaborative working culture.
If you are a creative self-starter and thrive on a lot of freedom and self-direction against the backdrop of a hugely supportive and caring team of colleagues, all inspired to change the world in an inclusive and caring way – you have just found your dream work-home.
Responsibilities include:
Leadership, Strategy and Governance
Fundraising and Development
Donor stewardship & reporting
Communications
Line Management

About Made in Hackney
Made In Hackney is an award winning 100% plant-based community cookery school, operating London-wide. Since 2012 we have helped >15,000 people lead healthier, happier, more environmentally sustainable lives by helping them to grow, cook and eat more plants – to improve not only their own health, but that of the planet too. We were the first charity to connect a solution to the unjust and devastating health inequalities crisis that sees people living in poverty suffering from significantly higher incidences of lifestyle induced chronic diseases, with the same critical solutions to the climate crisis - eating more wholefood, plant-based meals and less processed food. We work with local charities, community organisations, housing associations and support groups to ensure our courses are offered to people most in need such as low income families, children in care, teen carers, the eldery, mums in recovery and people suffering from diet related health problems
