Surviving and Thriving in Face-to-Face Fundraising
Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we’ve got something a little bit different for you.
To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we’ve decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'.
Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers.
"This was a really interesting one. I first spoke with Sally Wynter, who started in face-to-face fundraising at just 18. In her first week, she hadn’t managed to get any sign-ups, and she was on the verge of losing her job — but her team rallied around her, and her manager decided to give her another chance. That turned out to be the right decision, because Sally went on to become a brilliant street fundraiser and, as you’ll hear, eventually an entrepreneur.
Then, about a week later, I happened to speak with Dave Morris — and it dawned on me that he was actually the manager who made that call to keep Sally on all those years ago.
I thought it would be fascinating to bring them back together for a conversation: to reminisce about those early days, and to talk about how their careers have evolved since then. Dave has gone on to have a hugely successful career in the charity sector, with more achievements still to come.
I really enjoyed this one — hearing their perspectives on each other, on fundraising, and on what they’ve both learned along the way. I hope you enjoy it too"
