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!
Happy #NationalStorytellingWeek!

What to think about when finding & telling the stories in your organisations in ways that help them "stick" in your supporters minds.

How did one charity raise £30k (and counting!) and gain 2k new donors overnight?
With the power of one story...
#TheTraitors #Storytelling #StorytellingWeek
"Stories are how we human" love that!
The most common mistake I see charities make with London Marathon places is...
Not allocating places to runners who are most likely to hit and smash their fundraising targets.

Absolutely! It's why it's one of my values. Let's bring joy back to our work!
#DYK joy helps combat stress, boosts resiliance & connection.
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?
Community Fundraising Conference

Tag a colleague/client/pal others would benefit hearing from. Recommend yourself too!
Big 💜 @fundeverywhere.bsky.social for involving me
Thank you! I love the word gumption - I was reminded of it over Christmas as its in The Holiday and realised it was the perfect word to summarise a few things I wanted to include!
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!

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!
A former events fundraiser who doesn't know how to put up a banner? Yeeah...I bliming hate those things.
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!
We're in the heart of one of the biggest match-funding campaigns in the sector.
But have you ever thought of running your own?
