Sue was responsible for a Gold Award winning project with Barclays, and initiated the Hunter “Giving Welly” campaign, which was awarded a Big Tick from BIC and then taken it into the US and Ireland. She has been a Trustee for over 5 years and is therefore able to manage the relationships between Board and staff to greater mutual benefit.

Sandy’s successes have included leading a team of trusts, lottery and statutory fundraisers at the Princess Royal Trust for Carers to deliver £1.8 million revenue funding in support of carers’ services. In fours years, she tripled income and personally secured three Big Lottery bids, including a bid to the BASIS programme for £1m+ revenue.
