Fundraising recruitment service launched for regional charities
Howard Lake | 3 January 2008 | News
John Grain Associates Ltd has launched a new recruitment service aimed at supporting regional charities who are wanting to recruit professional fundraisers.
London still dominates the fundraising industry with many charities and fundraisers based there. As a result, outside the capital, many charities struggle to recruit fundraisers. They often have to turn to London-based agencies or non-specialist regional recruitment services.
John Grain Associates‘ new service is staffed entirely by experienced fundraising professionals. Director John Grain explained the need for the new service: “For some time now, charities have been asking for our support when recruiting new staff, or when looking for a career change so we are delighted to be offering this new service.”

The recruitment service will be headed up by consultant Polly Symondson.
She said:
“Having been a fundraiser for many years, I know how difficult it is looking for a job outside of London. Knowing there are great fundraising positions out there, but not knowing how to find them can be extremely frustrating. Now both regional recruiters and job seekers can access a service specifically for them run entirely by fundraisers.”
