Lingen Davies Cancer Fund exists to make a positive difference to lives affected by cancer in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales. Our charity was launched in 1979 as the Cobalt Appeal; an appeal that raised funds to bring cancer services to Shropshire for the very first time. Since then, we have raised an estimated £20 million, in today’s money, to support local services, and over 85,000 people have benefitted from projects we have supported. Our work is focussed in three key areas: cancer prevention and early diagnosis, excellent treatment delivered locally, and living well with and beyond cancer.
We celebrated our 40th Anniversary in 2019, and as we look to the future we have big ambitions. Rates of cancer diagnoses are increasing, but treatments continue to evolve and improve, meaning more people survive their experience of cancer. We want to make sure that everyone with cancer in our community has access to the best possible services and support.
To support our ambitions, we want to significantly increase and diversify our income, so we are seeking an exceptional Development Manager and a fabulous Charity Administrator to join our small but highly effective staff team.
Development Manager
We want to significantly increase and diversify our income, so we are seeking an exceptional Development Manager to lead on our income generation work. We are exceptionally lucky to have a strong base of support in our community, and we want to increase the reach of this throughout our community.
Alongside community fundraising, we are keen to develop new income streams, including trusts and foundations, corporate supporters, major donors and legacies.
Our new Development Manager will be an enthusiastic fundraiser, with experience of developing new income generation initiatives and thinking strategically. They will be adaptable, friendly and creative, with a genuine interest in supporting people with cancer in our community. They will be collaborative and appreciative of the charity’s history and values as they embrace and develop new projects.
The Development Manager will form part of the charity’s management team, supporting the wider organisation while focussing on achieving challenging income targets.

Charity Administrator
We’re looking for an additional Charity Administrator to help our office to run smoothly and ensure our supporters and visitors receive the best possible service. We are exceptionally lucky to have a strong base of support in our community, and this continues to grow. We pride ourselves on building great relationships with our supporters, and this role will be a key one in maintaining these.
As our support grows, our number of visitors, and of donations, increases! It is, of course, vital that donations are processed accurately, and that donors are recognised appropriately for their contributions. Visitors must be made welcome, and their questions answered in a friendly and efficient manner.
Our new Charity Administrator will be a key part of the office team, based on one of our reception desks and responsible for providing exceptional customer service as well as completing a range of administrative tasks to support the work of the Fundraising Office.
They will be friendly, adaptable and able to work without direct supervision. They will have a strong eye for details, excellent IT skills and a genuine interest in helping us support people with cancer in our community.
