Fundraising support – targeting high-net-worth individuals for scholarship fund
We are a specialist craft college for young adults 16-25 with an EHCP, SEN or other learning difficulties in rural East Sussex who are in the midst of a political shift - each year it becomes increasingly difficult to fill our classrooms with students as the Local Authorities across the country contend with budgetary crises galore and decide that special needs education funding is the first to be cut.
Often we are left waiting for students to go through tribunal processes well after the academic year has begun and Local Authorities seem not to be interested in funding residential opportunities for our young people.
Therefore, we would like to begin a fundraising campaign to target high-net-worth individuals who may be interested in setting up or donating to a scholarship fund for students to be able to attend our college without the traumatic process of having to go to court over government funding.
We are looking for a media professional who has experience in high-value funding, creating communications to target high-net-worth individuals, and how to market this fundraising initiative on social and print media.

Charity Details
Our Core Purpose is to offer people with and without a learning disability the opportunity to choose and experience meaningful living, learning and working within a mutually supportive environment, informed by anthroposophical insights.
We work with an emphasis on craft, art, movement, therapies and caring for the land. We recognise and respect the spiritual integrity of the individual human being, practicing community building as a means of striving to achieve spiritual, economic and cultural well-being.
We wish to nurture a community which upholds human integrity and spiritual wholeness. Where each individual, with or without a learning disability, can give and learn through creating mutual relationships; where each cares for the land and the environment; where a therapeutic and healing impulse is alive; where relationships with the wider community are fostered.
Through a heart, head and hands approach to living, learning and working we integrate statutory requirements with The Mount's core purpose and values; celebrate festivals in a beautiful environment; support students, Cohousing members and all community members to achieve individual aspirations by working with anthroposophical approaches to teaching, learning, living and training; engage international volunteers, offering all community members the opportunity to establish an individual identity.
