Major Appeal Laboratory: 21-23 Sept 2010
We thought the Laboratory was a resounding success but don't just take our word for it, see what the attendees thought.
‘Probably the most important couple of days in my career as a fundraiser. These days have given me a new sense of purpose and transformed my belief in what is possible. Amazing, thank you; on behalf of the hundreds and thousands of children who will be the real beneficiaries of these few days. ‘
Matt Wenham, Direct Marketing Fundraising Manager, Action for Children.
‘Great time, great people, lots of inspiration.’
Lewis Coghlin, Director of Fundraising, Action Medical Research.
‘Not a workshop; not a lecture; not a masterclass – just a great experience! Inspiration, encouragement, insight by the bucket load. We came as strangers and are going away as friends.’
Geraldine Long, Donor Development Manager, AICR.
‘From International Inspiration to Inverness inspiration! How to encapsulate three extraordinary days, focus, insight, support and friendship, and I will take away renewed inspiration to deliver a vision.’
Jo Andrews, Major Donor Manager - International Inspiration, UNICEF.
‘A unique experience! Special people with an incredible mission – it’s been a privilege to share our stories and experience. Now it’s time to reflect and make it happen! Let’s raise our game! Thank you for the inspiration.’
Emily Ward, Corporate Partnerships, MacMillan Cancer Support.
‘A fantastic three days. Hearing the experience of absolute experts in this field and 12 other fantastic charities has given me a really clear sense of how to move forward – with much bigger ambitions. Inspirational!’
Mark Hopkinson, Head of the New Business Team, UNICEF.
‘You have given me the confidence of my convictions. I feel so lucky to have had such an enriching experience. It’s just what I needed – thank you.’
Gemma Richley, Marketing Manager, Addenbrookes Charitable Trust.
‘Inspiring! Reality rather than theory, achievers rather than trainers.’
Peter Finnigan, Executive Secretary, Bhopal Medical Appeal.
‘Probably the most inspiring course that I have attended in the last 15 years. It has transformed my understanding of major appeals, the opportunities as well as the risks. My task now is to take that learning back and help deliver a step change in our major donor fundraising. One final point: The Inch is a great venue – well worth the journey.’
Jeremy Prall, Head of Philanthrophy and Partnerships, ActionAid UK.
‘Wisdom and inspiration – a rare combination. Thank you.’
Jane Robinson, International Major Gifts Manager, WSPA International.
‘Inspiring course, great content, speakers and venue. Many thanks.’
Richard Popper, Head of Central Fundraising & Communications, RNLI.
‘Thanks for all the inspiration; hopefully it will transform me enough to transform Quarriers. Many thanks. ‘
Ian Murray, Head of Grants, Quarriers.
‘...a truly inspiring week – emotionally charged and full of extremely useful information to bring back to the office.’
Hannah Moran, Campaign Appeal Director, CFAB.
