I will never understand the 'strategy' to not invest in #CommunityFundraising
Investing leads to overall fundraising uplift. Community Fundraisers are the face of your charity, building authentic relationships & empowering supporters to be ambassadors.
Why wouldn't you invest in that?
Community 101 Fundraising course is BACK!
8 modules that cover everything you need to be an awesome relationship fundraiser.
You know the audiences that make up a community programme - but how do you empower and motivate them?

Huge love to all fundraisers but #CommunityFundraisers in particular this Valentines Day!

When the work we do is big, important & sometimes scary it's important to look after ourselves.
My clients talk about the 'energy' I bring. I put all of this down to looking for moments of joy.
What joy have you expereinced lately?

I describe myself as being "values-driven" and although I've always known what that meant to me, I've now taken the time to craft these into a meaningful set of values I'm proud to share.
Gumption
Joy
Integrity
Generosity
Collaboration & Community
A little round up of the year. Looking forward to 2025!

And apparently no matter how long you've been fundraising, how senior you may be - you will still need to be putting up a pull up banner!
So lovely to hear from awesome fundraisers sharing that they got #LondonMarathon places because they saw my video!
