I have fifteen years experience working in the field of Trust and Grant Fundraising. I am a values driven fundraiser, who puts beneficiaries at the heart of my work, thus ensuring that grants achieve the greatest impact. I have experience with a broad range of grant makers including trusts, statutory and institutional funders. An organised and methodical approach enables me to manage a broad portfolio of funders, whilst also managing high internal competition for funding. I have an in depth knowledge of the Scottish funding scene, and a working knowledge of UK grant makers. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and can communicate effectively with internal and external audiences.
