In a long career, I have learnt that fundraising is all about people. Passionate people – be they academics, musicians, comedians, teachers, health workers, curators, campaigners – all working to make a difference. And across the globe, there is an army of people who want to support these endeavours to make the world a better place. As fundraisers, it is our privilege and our joy to help bring these people together, to build partnerships so that the most amazing things can happen.

At More Partnership we work behind the scenes to help create and develop relationships that enable all kinds of organisations to be more ambitious and more confident. And if I play a little part in doing this, I feel I have done a good day’s work.
