"Every day, thousands of people across the country are giving their time, energy and expertise to raise money for causes and communities they care about.
If you are a volunteer fundraiser looking to build up your knowledge and sharpen your skills, then The Volunteer Fundraiser’s Handbook has a wealth of essential information and advice you will need to reach your goals." Rob Cope, Executive Director, Membership & Operations, Chartered Institute of Fundraising
"This 2nd edition is a timely update with so many changes occurring in the fundraising world. Drawing on decades of experience, Jimmy has produced another dependable book that will serve as an introduction to volunteer fundraisers learning a new skillset, but equally a great reference to more seasoned folk. This book covers dependable best practice advice, fresh techniques and invaluable “fact-checker” insights. In charities without professional fundraisers, this book will help volunteer fundraisers to produce confident, competitive applications. The helpful appendices, including business templates and real-world scenarios, help to strengthen understanding. Overall, this book is a comprehensive, trustworthy guide to effective, modern fundraising, which I highly recommend." Rich Sewell, Centre Director, The Frontier Centre, Rock UK
