About Us

Greenhouse Sports is on a mission to change the lives of young people in poverty through the power of sport and mentoring. Too many young people are being left behind. It is not because they lack potential, but because poverty stacks the odds against them. This affects their education, mental health, and their future.

In 2025 we launched our new strategy “For Every Future” which outlined the charity’s bold mission and our ambitious plans to achieve this. To reach every child who needs us the most, we are raising the bar as a fundraising team. We currently generate £4m annually from major donors, trusts, institutions and corporates, plus an impressive array of special events raises an addition £1m per year.

We know there is potential for more, and this role will be critical in making significant growth in corporate income to drive forward our new strategy.

The Role

Corporate partnerships provide a vital source of income at Greenhouse Sports. The priority for the Corporate Partnerships Team is to further grow income, with an ambitious target of £1.1 million in 2025/26 - a 30% increase on the previous year.

The Corporate Development Manager will play a critical role in realising this new income, whilst diversifying the pipeline and strengthening existing relationships through superior cultivation and stewardship.

This is an exciting time to join the Fundraising Team at Greenhouse Sports as we make our new strategy a reality. In this team, you will have unparalleled access to learn and develop key skills from senior leaders. You will also feel empowered and supported to develop innovative, high-impact, sector-leading corporate partnerships.
