Fundraising Manager

Aug 2012 - Nov 2015
Supporting a range of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, from the one off fundraiser to our loyal branch volunteers. I work with them all to help them to achieve their goals and ensure they have a fun and positive experience fundraising for the BHF. I also work to recruit corporate partnerships, charity of the year and sponsorship deals. The variety of this role and the challenges it brings keep it alive and ever developing. In the past few months I have been given the opportunity to experience and lead a team of eight fantastic fundraising managers through a national campaign achieving and exceeding our financial target. I have also been attending management team meetings and have helped with planning budgets and KPI's for the team for the next financial year. Show less
