TAKE YOURSELF TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with some brilliant leaders who have inspired and empowered me to become the fundraiser I am today. I want to be that leader for others. The TEF mentoring programme will help me further my leadership and strategic thinking skills, giving me the confidence to become a sector leader.
