Who are we?
At Beatson Cancer Charity we support and enhance the treatment, care and wellbeing of current, former and future cancer patients and their families. We support people affected by cancer, every step of the way, making the journey easier by transforming the way cancer care is funded and delivered.

We also offer the wider community a unique opportunity to contribute to the fight against cancer in the broadest possible sense.
What You’ll Do as a Corporate Fundraiser:
As a Corporate Fundraiser, your primary focus will be on building and managing partnerships between Beatson Cancer Charity and businesses. These partnerships are the lifeblood of our fundraising efforts, and your role will be to establish and nurture long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. You'll work closely with companies to secure donations, event sponsorships, and other forms of support that directly benefit the charity’s mission. Whether sourcing new partnerships or maintaining existing ones, you'll be instrumental in ensuring businesses understand the difference their support makes in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Beyond developing relationships, you'll also have a hands-on role in generating income to meet ambitious fundraising targets. By creating compelling proposals and campaigns, you will help ensure we have the necessary funds to continue providing our crucial services. In return, businesses partnering with us will gain the opportunity to develop their skills, enhance their brand recognition, and align their corporate social responsibility goals with a cause that truly matters.
