Seaford Town Council
18/03/2019
Thank you for delivering an excellent
course. I thoroughly enjoyed the session. I have
read several books regarding fundraising and
each time I am left asking questions. Not this
time. I really felt that you were actually
giving us the tools to complete the task. It
seemed that many of us who attended had a fairly
good idea of “what to do” we just needed to know
“how to do it”. You provided the facts in a
straight-forward (and very entertaining) way
which was easy to understand. I personally felt
I could both relate to and put straight into
practice back in the office. Because you also
quoted figures that actually made sense, this
gave me the confidence and reassurance that I am
aiming in the right direction and getting there.
I would be more than happy to recommend your
course to industry colleagues.
