Bio
Annie Perez
Kirsty's leadership of the team was exemplary and a great influence to me. Her hard work, meticulous attention to detail and innovative flair was both infectious and inspirational. Kirsty brought supporters to the heart of each and every fundraising communications we did. Her principles of supporter involvement and engagement will resonate with me throughout my career in fundraising. Her all-encompassing and empowering approach has enabled myself, and many of my colleagues, to thrive. It has been a privilege to work with her and learn from her.

Kirsty was my manager at St Mungo's Broadway. She was an excellent manager to me, always approachable and caring. We worked together on many projects and she was always clear with her communication. It was such a pleasure both to know Kirsty, and to be part of her team. I hope that in the future there will be the opportunity for me to work with Kirsty again.
