About this role

Help transform mental health support in Sutton while building something truly special. Use your fundraising talent to make a lasting difference to thousands of local people and help shape the future of a pioneering mental health charity. Part-time Community based Fundraising Manager 2 days pw Salary £35k pro rata About us For nearly 30 years Sutton Mental Health Foundation has been a refuge for people in Sutton, Surrey, whose mental health has had an impact on their lives.

Over this time, the Foundation has helped thousands of people navigate their way through their mental health challenges and in 2025 we saw an 18% increase in demand for our services. From our unique and pioneering centre in the London Borough of Sutton, we provide a wide array of services aimed at promoting mental wellbeing, resilience and recovery from mental distress and ultimately, keeping people safe. Sutton Mental Health Foundation provides a place where people can feel safe and supported in tackling their mental health challenges and we provide these services 365 days a year.

Our crucial work The Foundation is a hidden gem of innovation, with a pioneering ‘Intentional Peer Support’ approach at its heart, which trains former and current service users to provide support to individuals facing similar mental health challenges to those they have faced themselves. The first contact from local people experiencing severe anxiety or distress often comes through telephone calls or through our Crisis Café, which operates every evening in person from 6.30pm to 11.00 pm, 365 days a year, and on the phone or on- line at other times.

This is where people can receive support and learn about the range of support options the Foundation provides. Our counselling service can help local people tackle a wide range of issues affecting their mental health. Our Belmont Connect service is a place to socialise, meet new people and receive support in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Or you can join one of our classes or drop-in sessions, which may be art-based, music themed or focused on an activity, such as gardening, and we aim to be weekly activities to suit everyone’s interests.

In the winter our In Your Corner Sunday service offers lunches from midday onwards, and we have year round specialist support sessions such as the Sutton Hearing Voices Group, which help individuals explore different ways to deal with hearing voices. We have been very successful in securing funding for our work from the local authority and from our local NHS Trust, but we have now reached a point where we want to raise new funds to innovate and expand our services, hence creating this new role of Community Fundraising Manager.
