We're looking forward to seeing Symon representing us at two significant events this week. Today, he'll join Sinead Costello from Purity Fundraising at the Air Ambulances UK Fundraising Symposium. They'll be sharing insights on developing our Value Exchange campaigns and the success of our charity/agency partnership. Then on Thursday, collaborating with Jessie P. from Wood for Trees, they're discussing the State of the Sector report during this month's 20-20 Insight session hosted by the CIOF Insight in Fundraising Committee. Thank you to Symon for taking up these opportunities, we look forward to both insightful discussions!
