• Cultivating new corporate partnerships that align with ActionSpace’s brand, vision and values, and work with your team to ensure good stewardship of these new relationships.
• Leading on charitable trust fundraising and contribute to the effective management of statutory funding relationships.
• Develop/oversee ActionSpace’s Communications strategies in conjunction with the Communications Officer, safeguarding the organisation’s brand and reputation, and building routes to greater engagement with wider audiences.
