I have spent many years working in a paid and voluntary capacity for a number of charities. This has included time spent as vice chairman of a childrens play project.
I also worked for a number of years at The Body Shop - the socially concious cosmetics company founded by the late Anita Roddick. I originally was part of the company Campaigns Team and helped run campaigns alongside Greenpeace and various Human Rights organisations. I also worked a lot for the community side of the company. I later transferred to The Body Shop Foundation - the company's own grant making trust where I was involved with fundraising and events.
Since leaving The Body Shop I have been working as a Project Co-ordinator for a Human Rights Institute. I have also set up and now spend time running the popular fundraising website http://www.better-fundraising-ideas.com
