Sue has completed over three years with St John Ambulance, the UK’s leading provider of first aid training in the UK. When Sue started with St John Ambulance they were going through a period of transition, and she was asked to hold the trust fundraising reins for a short time. Contracted to support trust fundraising for four days a month, trust income shot up by around 500% in her first year. St John Ambulance followed this up with a request for Sue to sign a further 2-year contract.
Early in 2015 that contract came to an end. St John Ambulance now has a full in-house trust fundraising team and a firm footing from which to continue their trust fundraising activities.
Tegan Jones, Head of Fundraising, when asked to comment on Sue’s input said, “Sue has been a tremendous resource to St John Ambulance and has always displayed an excellent understanding of trust fundraising engagement techniques; a clear understanding of the reporting expectations of trust funders and how charities should ensure that proposed projects are structured to ensure impact is accurately measured. Sue has an excellent understanding of the UK trust landscape and expert knowledge of so many funding bodies. I would have no hesitation in utilising her services in the future.”
