About Christina Poulton:

Christina Poulton works with non‑profit organisations—charities, CICs and community groups—to make their work easier to manage and fund. She has been in the sector her whole career, starting when Linkin Park were first topping the charts.

She has been a venue manager, production coordinator, youth leader, university lecturer, and has worked in programming, marketing and fundraising.

Christina describes herself as a weird mix of a list‑loving wannabe accountant and a creative, idea‑a‑minute people‑person.

Ethical fundraising means focusing on clarity, viability, and genuine fit—not taking work you can't help with.
