      Sept 2018 - Jun 2021

      Working on key policy areas such as human rights, and continuing as the fundraiser in a limited way, I am now responsible for central operations. Following the successful merger of UNA Exchange with WCIA I work to embed M & E throughout, consistency in all organisational policies and safe working for all staff and volunteers. I started as Trusts & Foundation fundraiser and soon took on additional fundraising tasks such as supporting tendering, and improving individual donor journey. Responsibility for all communications and volunteer management followed. In this busy internationalist team, multi tasking is essential. Making linkages between changes in the policy environment, campaign aims and fundraising opportunities is key to success.
