Why am I invloved in Fundraising Convention?
I’ve been involved in the Convention Board for ten years – this is my last – because I’m passionate about the charity sector and developing people’s skills to build confidence and do better. The bar has raised year on year, and I’m proud to have been part of that. I love the buzz of people coming together, willing to sharing knowledge and keen to learn from each other.
