Oooh interesting job. Home-based with regular trips to London.

🌟 New opportunity to become our Head of Children and Young People 🌟

This exciting new UKCF role will lead a big new national programme, working with community foundations across the UK.

We're seeking someone who knows the children and young people's world: the funding, the policy, the organisations doing the work on the ground.

If you have solid programme management experience - ideally in grant making but possibly in another context - understand the importance of place, can build relationships, and would enjoy shaping something new with a focus on learning and influence, we would love for you to apply.

Learn more and apply before 11.55pm Tuesday 16th June:

The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) UK Local Giving Report 2026 is out today, sharing insights from a survey of more than 12,000 people across the UK and featuring the community foundation perspective from our Chief Executive Emma de Closset.

The findings reflect something community foundations see every day across the UK: local giving is closely connected to people feeling part of their community and seeing the impact of charities and voluntary groups around them.

The report provides a reminder that giving is about more than just money – it's about trust, belonging and pride in the places people call home.
