What students are saying...
Raising the Bar
"I'm new to fundraising, but doing Alicia's course was a life saver...literally. I've got post-it notes written on books reminding me of info. If you are going to do one course, make it this one 👌😄."
Developing relationships on the phone
"I enjoyed the video format, and Claire came across as really personable, relatable and warm. I felt like there were some good tips in there definitely, and it was nice to know other people have the same concerns/worries about making phone calls."
Raising the Bar
"I learnt a lot in a short space of time and now feel confident in researching and writing funding applications to Trusts and Foundations."
