Purpose of the job 

As the Fundraising Events Coordinator at UK Youth, you will support the Fundraising Events Manager in delivering our exciting calendar of special and challenge events, including our flagship Gala Dinner, Art for Youth, and the London Marathon. You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with event committees, corporate partners, sponsors, and internal teams to manage logistics, handle event administration, and strengthen relationships with supporters and partners.

We’re looking for a proactive team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings strong organisational skills, and looks for ways to improve processes and support the wider fundraising team.

Why work at UK Youth? 

UK Youth is a leading charity that exists to ensure all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened, supported, and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed and delivers high-quality outcomes.

UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing: the lack of investment in the youth sector; the lack of cross sector understanding in how youth work makes a difference; and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. To find more about us and how we make an impact, please visit UK Youth website.
