A Competent strategic decision-maker and effective leader, trainer and mentor, I have had 30 years of fundraising experience in the not-for profit sector. Employed primarily in fundraising. communications and project-management roles, my experience covers health, social welfare and disability sectors; the fields of women’s rights and international aid; community and charity sector infrastructure; and corporate social responsibility. I have a track record of personally raising money and managing relationships with diverse fundraising sources and have led fundraising and communications departments at national and international charities. An experienced trustee, I now run a fundraising consultancy – Nova Fundraising & Associates – that specializes in growing the fundraising skills and capacities of small-but-mighty charities across the UK. With a combination of a deep commitment to ending homelessness, plus poor eyesight since being prescribed glasses as a 9-year-old – I’m thrilled to be a board member of VCHP.
