I’m so proud to have been part of More from the start. I love my job. I’m passionate about the power of philanthropy to bring about genuine, lasting and positive societal change. It’s a privilege to work with many extraordinary people and organisations and to have done so over many years. It’s particularly rewarding to have built ongoing partnerships with a number of my clients and to be able to witness –and sometimes to be part of – their success.
Above all, I’ve learned that people who are passionate about their cause, and engage actively with others who share their beliefs, change the world. Passion, persistence and patience are what it’s about. And giving brings joy. During a recent training session for clinicians, a donor who had received a heart transplant told us how making a significant gift to the hospital was essential for his healing and recovery. You could hear a pin drop in the room.
