The Income Generation Lead is the strategic lead for Toonspeak’s fundraising, working as part of the Senior Management team for the charity, and alongside the core and freelance teams.

The core purpose of the role is to generate income via a range of streams and initiatives, to sustain the company and the pioneering projects and programmes which Toonspeak delivers for young people across Glasgow.

Sistema Scotland’s vision is to thrive together through music. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change. By playing music together in ensembles and orchestras, we aim to grow confidence, respect, teamwork and aspiration in the children, young people and communities we work with.

We deliver our work through six Big Noise programmes: in Raploch & Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Torry in Aberdeen, Douglas in Dundee and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an organisation that truly champions fundraising. You will be welcomed into a successful team with the opportunity to make the role your own, bringing your skills and experience to grow income and make meaningful change to children and families across Scotland.

You will maximise income from trusts, foundations, and corporates through innovative and compelling proposals, applications and reports, supporting Sistema Scotland to deliver its Big Noise programmes. Along with a proven track record of raising significant income for charities, you will have experience of composing complex and compelling applications to corporate funders and trusts, and experience of identifying and researching funding opportunities.

This is a permanent, part-time post, working 21 hours a week (working pattern to be agreed with line manager).

Office base can be any of our Big Noise centres in Scotland. Regular travel to all our Big Noise programmes across Scotland will be required.

Love Glasgow’s heritage? Help steer Glasgow Building Preservation Trust’s strategic direction

We are seeking new voluntary board members to join our board of trustees.

Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is a charity which rescues and re-purposes historic buildings across Glasgow.

We have a legacy of over 40 years of working throughout the city, returning buildings at risk back to their communities from The Briggait, to Castlemilk Stables, Glasgow’s blue police boxes and amazing places like Kelvingrove Bandstand.

We introduced Doors Open Days to the UK and still run the much-loved Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival every September, providing free access to historic buildings and exclusive talks, walks, tours and other experiences.

We believe deeply that heritage and history are for everyone and work hard to help Glaswegians remember and celebrate their city’s stories.

No previous trustee experience is required. Please see our role description, and Reach Volunteering’s guide to Becoming a Trustee for more information.

Successful candidates will be offered attendance to Culture & Business Scotland’s Introduction to Being a Board Member training to ensure you have the tools to help us.

We believe that our board should reflect Glasgow’s diversity and particularly welcome applicants from minority ethnic backgrounds.

We encourage applications from people with experience in finance, law or fundraising/philanthropy at this time, but we are also interested in good people from all professional backgrounds.

The board meets four times a year, and trustees might also attend interim and sub-committee meetings and Trust events in addition to this.
