Testimonials

Here is a selection of testimonials

  • "I have been a fundraiser working predominantly with schools in Leeds for two years and, through reading Fundraising for Schools, we have received more than £100,000 towards various school and community projects. I wouldn’t be without it – consulting Fundraising for Schools has always managed to produce great results for us."
    Shari Baker, Fundraiser, Leeds
  • "Through reading Fundraising for Schools I got £3,000 from one foundation for a bio-acoustical system which we use in the PE hall and in assemblies. I also got £700 from the EMI Music Foundation towards building an internal radio station on a permanent basis. All as a result of seeing leads in Fundraising for Schools. I have been a fundraiser for eight years and I still find it an invaluable tool."
