The role provides an excellent opportunity for a dynamic, strategic individual to play a catalytic role in shaping an exciting, innovative and transformational project.
Northern Roots is transforming 160 acres of urban greenspace in Oldham into a destination for learning, leisure and growing. The charity aims to benefit the environment, and to improve the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of local communities. They are currently constructing a Visitor Centre, Forestry Skills Centre and four acres of Urban Farm and will open as a visitor destination in 2026.
Over the last five years, the Northern Roots charity has successfully secured significant capital and revenue funding from a wide range of statutory, trust, foundation and corporate funders. Over the past year, they have conducted extensive pipeline research, developed a variety of Case for Support and proposal documents, begun to engage with High Net Worth and corporate supporters, and achieved success with a number of trusts and foundations new to them. As they prepare to open new facilities, they are now ready to recruit a member of staff to work with our CEO and Board to take forward the research, relationships and materials we have developed.
