to making life better - for the families we serve, and for the people who help us to make that happen.
Through grants and emergency equipment loans, we ensure children get the vital equipment they need, when they need it, while our
free nurse helpline offers crucial support and information – as well as a listening ear. Our campaigns help to give children with
disabilities and their families a voice, advocating for change to benefit the families we serve. And we support adults with
additional needs with volunteering and employment opportunities, providing an introduction to the workplace and a means for career
development.
Across the whole of Newlife, our teams are crucial to our success – it’s not just a job; here you’ll be helping us to change
lives every day.

colleagues across Fundraising, Communications and Supporter Care to maxmise income, deepen supporter engagement, and grow
sustainable regular giving.
You’ll be responsible for delivering existing appeals (e.g. our Christmas Appeal and Grand Draw), developing new fundraising
products, and ensuring that donors receive thoughtful and inspiring journeys.
At Newlife, we believe every child with disabilities deserves the best possible future. For over 30 years, we’ve been the UK’s
leading charitable provider of specialist equipment for disabled children.
We offer an emergency response service, delivering vital items to family homes often within 72 hours. Alongside this, we run a
free, nurse-staffed national helpline, provide sensory toys through our Play Pod loan scheme, and campaign for policy change.
Our unique model combines a recycling and retail operation that generates income, creates inclusive employment opportunities, and
delivers significant environmental benefits. Along with Support from trusts, corporates, communities, and individuals through
traditional fundraising channels.
Together, these raise c.£15m annually, with c.£4m directly funding our services. Demand continues to rise making fundraising
