Jul 2011 - Feb 2016
I helped to protect children by ensuring as many people as possible are inspired to remember the NSPCC's vital work with a gift in their will. I do this by devising and delivering strategies to promote gifts in wills based on audience insight and an understanding of the opportunities and barriers for legacy giving in the UK. I manage a team of marketeers who develop messages and materials and a team fundraisers who build relationships with donors, colleagues and other key stakeholders. I also oversee the development of the NSPCC's Tribute Fundraising activities. As part of the senior fundraising team, I also play a role in delivering the wider fundraising strategy which is designed to enable the organisation to meet its short and long term objectives.
