This fantastic animal Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK with a nationwide network of rehoming centres caring for over 15,000 dogs, and they never put a healthy dog down. Fundraising projects are as wide-ranging as capital redevelopments, help for people experiencing homelessness and their doggy friends, and fostering support for victims of domestic abuse to enable them to stay connected to their animals.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>About the role:</strong></em><br />
As Regional Major Donor Fundraiser for the South West, you'll join the Trust's growing philanthropy team working on a portfolio of £5-100k gifts. With a warm pool of prospects, and exciting and varied programmes to talk to them about, you'll be part of a vibrant and supportive culture where people are encouraged to try new things and get creative.<br />
