I joined this team at the busiest time of year and immediately took responsibility for Great Daffodil Appeal collections in West London. I repaired a poorly looked after area creating a Fundraising Group from the relationships built. I also managed a frustrated Fundraising Group who had lost faith in the ability of Marie Curie staff due to poor management who then became the most successful in London. I won the Chief Executive award in 2013. Responsibilities included:
• Supporting and delivering the running of national campaigns
• Recruiting 2 Fundraising Groups per year and managing existing Fundraising Groups
• Managing the In Memory Fund Project in London and contributing to the supporter journey.
• Creating a strategy for the running of summer and winter collections and implementing it from beginning to end.
• Acting as regional Champion for London and the South East fundraising in organising the quarterly supporter magazine.
• Representing Marie Curie through all communication and public speaking to memberships, associations and schools.
• Managing entertainment and updating the way the information is recorded for public collections, recruiting and managing a volunteer to assist.
