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?

Huge love to all fundraisers but #CommunityFundraisers in particular this Valentines Day!

How did one charity raise £30k (and counting!) and gain 2k new donors overnight?

With the power of one story...

#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?

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 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!

Christmas tree is up! And it's a joyful "scrapbook" of decorations

Like a #ChristmasDinosaur who doesnt need a Christmas dinosaur?

What's your most joyful Christmas decoration?

Well this is fascinating. Facebook promoting #GivingTuesday and using your liked pages or interacted posts to suggest charities.

I like it. Anyone else seen this? Thoughts?

@social-sync.bsky.social what do you reckon?

I'm getting lots of enquiries about bespoke training for 2025. Delivering training tailored to your teams needs, meeting your exact objectives in a brain-friendly collaborative way is honestly one of my most favourite things to do.

So if you want your team to benefit from that - let me know!

Did you know its #SelfCareWeek?

I'm seeing so many more cases of burnout in fundraisers. Ultimatly to avoid that we need supportive leadership, clear plans & goals and manageable workload.

But when that isn't in our control here are some of the things you can focus on
