The Certificate in Fundraising for Self Help & Support Groups

Testimonials

Here are some testimonials from some of the previous participants on the course:

" We've been successful in gaining £5,000 for the redevelopment of our website and now plan to apply for a part-time admin/fundraiser post. The course contributed to the success as I was able to focus on what information would be most likely to succeed "

Lesley Fudge, Vice Chair, Latex Allergy Support Group.

" This course has given me the tools and the confidence to now bid for the Big Lottery!! This time 6 weeks ago I would have been terrified of that prospect, now I look upon this as a challenge. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt so much thank you to my tutor. "

Marg Oaten, Eating Disorder Support Group

" I would encourage other students to base their coursework around their own projects, and since you are given this option, you can use the tutor as a sounding board and incorporate his/her feedback. They would then have a ready made bid to present at the end of the course! I have loved doing this course and feel much more confident as a result. Can't wait to get stuck in! "

Branch Development Manager, Alzheimer's Society

" The course materials were very well written with an easy to read lay out, all the links were very useful and the assessment exercises were interesting. I now have a more confident writing style. I have gained a lot of ideas from this course and through other participants. "

K Drummond, Events Co-ordinator, North Northumberland Hospice

Fundraising Manager, Herstmonceaux Health Centre
