Reflection is something many people will have had time to do
during these last six months as life has changed for us all in some way. Everyone
has a story and whether this is from childhood or as an adult, that story is
part of who they are.
Since joining A Way Out this month, I have told my own story
to colleagues about where my passion and driving force comes from and why
community fundraising is so important to me. I went back to myself aged 15, and
reflected upon what life would have looked like for me if I had not by chance
received a single leaflet from a charity at a gala day which became my lifeline.
Now as A Way Out’s Community Fundraising Co-ordinator I’m excited to be that person who promotes the
work they do and fundraises to keep the organisation’s vital services running. I am also thrilled to be recruiting a team of
community fundraising volunteers to help me do it.
The global pandemic has actively demonstrated how caring a
community is when they come together, and it also means that A Way Out’s
services are needed more now than ever to support vulnerable women, young
people and families who have suffered hardship during the last six months.
If you have passion for community fundraising like me and
want to help make a difference to people’s lives then email info@awayout.co.uk for an information pack
