They have invested millions over the past 10 years into research, services and awareness. I work closely with the Scotland Fundraising Executive to provide support to our Community, Corporate, Sporting Events, Trust and In Memory Fundraisers.

East Park provides education and supported accommodation services to children and young adults with additional support needs, including autism. I work in a small team with exposure to many different strands of fundraising. I am involved with Trusts and Grants Fundraising, a variety of community projects, managing relationships with corporates and being the first point of contact for individual fundraisers. I have also been given the responsibility of monitoring the website and after presenting the Senior Managers with a Social Media Strategy have implemented this successfully. I have taken part in a variety of training courses including Successful Trust Fundraising, Autism Training and eTapestry training.

June 2012 - September 2012 - I assisted a local fundraiser in organising World Biggest Coffee Morning Events around Lanarkshire. I also helped with general administration, calling fundraisers to assist with their plans and visiting people one on one to discuss their Coffee Mornings. I also held two Coffee Mornings of my own which raised hundreds of pounds. The second of these, I decided to hold in a pub and made it a 'Coffee Cocktails and Cupcakes' Evening. It was very successful and meant that people who had been working all day were still able to attend. Since then I have held regular fundraisers for Macmillan including Coffee Mornings and Girls Night In.

I also built on my strong organisational and communication skills.

Since then I have been involved in the Managed Service Network Launch, met various MSPs to help with policy changes in Scotland and recently met with Aileen McLeod MSP to discuss the education programme in schools. As of this, Aileen has now taken the policy through parliament and they have backed funding for the Teenage Cancer Trust Education Programme to be rolled out throughout schools in Scotland.Planning and running my own event - I held a fundraising Ceilidh for the Teenage Cancer Trust that raised over £2,500 for the charity.
