Bronwyn has worked in the third sector for over 17 years from social firms, managing charity retail, leading fundraising teams and being a CEO.
Juggling being a proud fundraiser with motherhood and being a full time carer, Bronwyn’s favourite down time activities are catching up with friends and family over quality veggie food or being outdoors with her sighthounds.
Bronwyn isn’t particularly fond of early mornings and is very much pro hibernation!
Bronwyn is also the Chair of Chairs for Scotland, supporting the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and the Scottish committees.
Katie had worked as a community and events fundraiser for about six years but for the last five, has moved to the dark side (corporate!) She still enjoys getting people involved in all sorts of weird and wonderful community challenges, whether at home or at work.
Katie has a soft spot for all dogs but particularly her own fundraising hound, Lily. She hates TV finales that are “to be continued…”.
Jodie has been working in community fundraising and volunteering for around ten years. She hates when it is quiet and will find ways to keep busy when there is extra time whether it’s volunteering, going to live music or planning some mad charity challenge to take on. An example of her participation includes abseiling dressed as an Easter bunny and doing treks abroad. If you want to get her chatting, talk all things animals especially her house rabbits who cheer her up whenever there are more stressful days.
