I love helping fundraisers raise more money for their charities, through training courses, Bright Spot Members Club and my podcast - Fundraising Bright Spots.

What better time to reflect on the state of cancer care in the UK than #WorldCancerDay?

There’s almost 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK. That’s millions of lives turned upside down, every day, in so many ways. And more and more will struggle to access the care they need because of who they are, or where they live.

Better cancer care is possible.

World Cancer Day is a big one for us; it’s an opportunity to highlight the voices and experiences of people living with cancer, as well as setting out our mission to transform cancer care for everyone, now and for the future.

Stay tuned for some exciting news on how we’re marking World Cancer Day today…💚

Shout out to any fundraisers who struggle to access great training and support!

Here’s a great event that is designed to support you!!!

Concentrating effort on fewer supporters/corporate partners with high potential makes growing high-value income easier. But while this sounds good in theory, it's often tricky to apply.

In this podcast episode @benswart & I share examples to help you 👉 https://t.co/QHFbVnIDB7

Too often we fail to make progress because we believe the lie that success comes from one big leap forward, and so we search for that ...and fail to find it!
