We are expanding our team! We’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Fundraiser to join our small, friendly team on a part-time basis.
About us: Room to Heal is a human rights charity and therapeutic community based in London.

We offer a range of activities including: therapeutic support groups, gardening, individual therapy and casework, cooking and social gatherings, and therapeutic retreats.
At the heart of our work lies the cultivation of community, through which our members can restore meaningful relationships, overcome the legacy of their traumatic experiences and integrate into the UK.
