Raleigh International

The Business Development and Alumni team generate support, and fundraise for our charity so that we can give people from all backgrounds and nationalities the opportunity to experience a Raleigh expedition. We build relationships with corporate, education and youth development organisations to deliver bespoke programmes. We also support and inspire our alumni to continue taking positive action on their return home.

With support from our Board of Trustees, our chief executive helps guide and shape the direction of our organisation with a team of buzzy and dynamic people who are committed to the ethos of Raleigh.

Having a full time team in-country is absolutely essential. It enables us to build long-term, sustainable partnerships and ensure that our projects not only respond to locally defined needs but that they are delivered safely and to a high standard.

The finance team is central to the excellent administration and effective running of our charity.

The marketing and recruitment team is responsible for creating awareness of Raleigh International's programmes and the impact of our work as a charity. We build relationships with potential volunteers, schools, colleges, universities, youth and professional organisations and parents. We're responsible for the branding and communications of Raleigh, the ones behind the website and other marketing materials, are at the end of the phone if you've got any questions about joining a Raleigh programme and would love to hear your stories about Raleigh or any ideas that you may have. We also deal with media enquiries and can help with case study interviews and image requests.

Once you've applied to come on expedition, the Support team will always be on hand to answer your questions, from how to go about fundraising to what you should pack for an expedition. We ensure that each expedition runs smoothly and that each and every venturer and volunteer manager is fully supported.

The Programmes team works across the organisation, continually strengthening and improving our current programmes and designing new programmatic approaches, including those funded by institutional donors. We support the other teams to deliver all aspects of our programmes by providing effective and efficient oversight.
