I joined Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as Supporter Engagement Manager in the summer of 2022. I head up the brilliant Supporter Engagement team, which is made up of three Supporter Engagement Officers, a Supporter Engagement Co-ordinator and an Events Fundraiser.
We work with individuals, community groups and businesses across our patch, to raise funds and awareness, to ensure the helicopter keeps flying and saving lives.
I’m a people person and really enjoy meeting new people, which probably explains why I like networking so much. There’s something very satisfying about identifying potential connections and opportunities and seeing them come to fruition. I’m also fiercely competitive and love a good challenge!
I’ve managed to get through 10 + years so far in the charity sector, without having to throw myself out of a perfectly good plane or climb huge mountains. I did register for the London Marathon once and have never been so relieved as when the magazine dropped through the door to say I’d been unsuccessful, so I think my time might be coming… sooner rather than later. But no ideas what I’d like to do, any (sensible) suggestions?
