I’m an award-winning charity champion and community advocate offering creative solutions to support and grow local and national charities. I voluntarily dedicate my energy, enthusiasm, and love of fundraising to charities across England and Wales. After over 25 years running Parliamentary offices and launching two small businesses, I transitioned to supporting charities in 2013. I was awarded the Charity Champion award in 2020 at the Hertfordshire Community Awards. My work with charities involves:- Networking: Nurturing relationships and establishing connections.- Event planning: Organising gala dinners, balls, auctions, receptions, live music and more. - Development: Supporting charities to grow and make a difference. - Fundraising: Raising hundreds of thousands of pounds, always exceeding fundraising targets. - Brainstorming: Using my experience to help charities find innovative solutions. I hold various ambassador and patron roles, working collaboratively with community members and corporate sponsors. A highlight of my long-standing partnerships with Garden House Hospice Care was fundraising over £12,000 on the Charlie Chicks project during the pandemic. “Sarah is a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic Ambassador for Garden House Hospice and hugely ambitious about the charity’s future… The charity would love to have 10 Sarah’s.”- Cath Cole⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐“Sarah is an incredible supporter of charities.
