What do you do?
Essentially I establish and develop relationships with donors, to keep them interested in the NSPCC. I also take part in annual research, which is fundamental to keeping donors happy.
I have thoroughly enjoyed it from the word go. I have also realised how strongly I felt about the therapeutic nature of art therapy, which has inspired me to think about how I can get more involved in directly helping children.
Why did you join the NSPCC?
I came directly from a personal assistant role in the property maintenance sector. I knew that I wanted to use other skills elsewhere, especially when a close friend told me of her abuse and how distraught she clearly was by it.
What benefits are there?
I find there are various benefits in terms of training that is closely linked with the role we fulfil. There are many opportunities to see what our Services for Children and Young People do through regular talks as well. There is a great solidarity of spirit, and support with regards to family issues that is unique.
What do you find rewarding?
I throroughly enjoy the firsthand contact with donors who want to help to protect children - I am always amazed by the generosity and dedication they display. We often hear about the successes of either how we handle cases and how we carry them through as well.
What values are important for working with the NSPCC?
I feel it is very important to care for the welfare of children and young people, and to think laterally when it comes to tackling obstacles.
