Volunteer Grant Writer

What will you be doing?

What will you be doing? Two Generations is a social enterprise that reduces loneliness and poverty, supports carers, and provides affordable accommodation through Homeshares. We also help vet and match hosts for refugees. We are now looking for a Grant Writer who will collaborate with the existing team to secure funding. You will research grant opportunities, prepare proposals and write compelling grants to secure capital. You will be the point of contact with our grant writing agency which leads three large grants per year. You will work with them to identify grants. You will work independently on smaller grants in collaboration with the wider Two Generations Team. You will collaborate with our current Grant Writer and when they move abroad in August, we’d love you to take over the full responsibility for the work.  

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone with excellent writing and organizational skills who's able to both work independently and collaborate with others.

What difference will you make?

What difference will you make? Every Homeshare in place will mean that someone's life is transformed. For example:

A chronically lonely person who's despairing finally having some company An unpaid carer for a partner with health issues finally being able to leave the house and take a break An anxious person feeling much more relaxed because they know there's someone else in the house at night; and their children feeling reassured because they live far away. Someone is able to go home from the hospital earlier because they have someone to cook and clean for them An elderly person is able to remain in their home for 50 years rather than go to a care home 

Your role will be to enable as many people as possible to benefit from our service.
