I love meeting inspiring people, and today I met two of the best. Firefighters George and Rebecca are 2/3s of Antarctic Fire Angels, who are self funding an expedition from Antarctic Coast to the South Pole unassisted. These women are all about inspiring the next generation of women and the trip is just the beginning, with big plans for a huge Charitiable impact when they return.

Seriously you need them in your life... and actually they need you in there too..

They currently have 32k still to raise, so who do I know with big charitable pockets that will meet them amd consider sponsoring their trip?

Delighted to recieve this feedback from one of my first 'Supercharge Your Fundraising' programme attendees.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Sharon. The thing I love most about delivering this programme is all the brilliant people it brings into my life, and Sharon Osterfield is one of the best. Her projects https://www.arukah.co.uk/ (supporting those in the justice system) and https://www.2911.uk/ (purpose driven property investing to support prison leavers) are really well run, high impact, inspiring organisations that will no doubt attract considerable funding and grow to leave a very significant impact on this world.

If you run a CIC or charity and would like help to establish or improve your fundraising, you're in luck! My next programme starts on 3rd October, and the price is heavily discounted by 50% for those signing up before the end June.

Was delighted to represent the Marine Conservation Society last night, and to meet so many interesting and inspiring people at our FINANCING THE GROWTH OF THE BLUE ECONOMY. 170 people cram packed into a room ready for change!

Listening to organisers Sandy Luk, CEO of The Marine Conservation Society, and Sonali Siriwardena of Simmons & Simmons, its both devastating to see the state of our oceans, and uplifting to experience the groundswell of interest in funding the Blue Economy. As speaker My-Linh Ngo said, Philanthropy is good (and important, so we urgently need those gifts to keep coming and ramp up!), but to meet the scale of the Ocean crisis facing us, we need the financial markets on board.

The thought of no more Orcas, is very sad.
The realisation that our own species will be on the extinction list too if we don't act is stone-cold sobering.




and Happy !! 🌊💙🐟👪

Focusing on too many types of fundraising risks overwhelm and not being particularly successful or competent in any direction ‼

🤹‍♀ Add too many balls and even the most brilliant juggler will drop a ball...

Being reliant on just one funding stream , means you are very vulnerable and likely to lurch from project to project, risking mission creep and being led by funders rather than your own vision.

🏐Think of an acrobat trying to reach the other side of a plank whilst walking on a ball... they might make it, but it'll be pretty tense, and if the ringmaster pulls the ball, a fall is given.

A good fundraising mix is vital for a healthy, high impact organisation.

But what should be in your mix?

DON'T MISS OUT‼ I am running a Webinar this Friday that will really help you get your mix right and help you avoid overwhelm, full details here: https://fb.me/e/3wV69gbcQ

One of the best things about being a fundraising consultant, is getting to meet and work with the most inspirational people in our society. Those bringing to life huge ideas, on the crest of a massive wave of passion. Ideas that make this world a better place.

Yesterday's treat was Ken Dunn. An educator, furiously passionate about young people, Africa, and the extraordinarily huge issue of 1/3 of humans using open flames to cook their supper. He has a brilliant, cheap ecofriendly solution... a cooking bag. A simple, revolutionary idea, that has already changed the lives of so many women, reducing their risk of illness, r**e, su***de, ill health, and poverty. Its gives women back time, life, and opportunity. The impact is remarkable.

Like all brilliant ideas, it now needs funding, which for me is the fun part!!!

Check it out, and connect with Ken! He's a guy you want in your world, trust me.

We are an organisation that collaborates with communities all around the world to create Eco Cook Bags out of local waste.
