About Us

We are Right There, a charity that recently celebrated our 200th anniversary. We provide tailored support for people, at home, and in the community. We are here for people who are living with the effects of homelessness, poverty, substance use, or family breakdowns.

Last year we supported almost 4,000 individuals, helping to prevent them from becoming homeless or separated from the people they love. Every person’s story is unique, and everyone’s route home is different - it doesn’t matter what the situation is – we’re not here to judge, only to help.

The Community Fundraising and Events Officer will be responsible for driving income generation to support the growth and sustainability of Trauma Healing Together via community fundraising initiatives. The post-holder will lead on planning, delivering, and evaluating a programme of community events, working creatively to engage individuals, volunteers, groups, and local businesses. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and organised fundraiser to make a tangible difference by generating the vital funds needed to expand our trauma-informed services.

ABOUT TRAUMA HEALING TOGETHER

As a charity we work closely with people who have experienced psychological trauma and are living with the symptoms of this. We work in partnership with trauma survivors to improve their quality of life through therapy, training and personal development, shaping future services and the understanding of trauma through research projects. We promote a holistic and multi-faceted approach to treating all types of psychological trauma, prioritising mutual understanding and respect of clients, staff and volunteers. As an organisation we thrive to be transparent, consistent and autonomous. We are looking for a person who shares our values and has skills that can contribute to shape a small growing charity.

Fresh Start provides support to people moving on from or those at risk of homelessness.

Since 1999 Fresh Start’s core mission has been supporting people to “make a home for themselves” as they move on from homelessness. Typically, people have been living in temporary accommodation and have been allocated unfurnished, poorly equipped or decorated local authority properties. Our services give people immediate support at a critical transition point in their lives and provide longer term support enabling them to sustain their new tenancies and settle in their new community. Over the last 5 years our work has developed further to incorporate services focusing on the prevention of homelessness through tackling poverty and inequality.

Our 4 areas of focus cover:

(1) Move-In support services: a collection of services supporting people transitioning from homelessness and temporary accommodation.

(2) Empowerment and Poverty Prevention Services which support people develop skills, knowledge and social network so that they are better equipped to deal with the issues and difficulties they face.

(3) Food Support Services which respond to the current food crisis faced by many in Edinburgh and allow individuals and families to access food in a dignified manner.

(4) People-led, Place-based Community Development through Fresh Start leading role and involvement in key policy making groups and in pushing for system change through learning.
