Role: event co-ordinator, publicity designer, community fundraiser.
As Development Manager, I connected with comedian, Mark Olver to put on two fundraising gigs. Comedians waived their fees.
Raised: £2,500 (£5,000 HLF-matchfunded) from ticket sales, a bucket collection and bar run by the ever-supportive Friends of Arnos Vale Cemetery (100 seater venue).
Engaged: new audience (many drawn from outside the Cemetery’s local area of support – postecode analysis), 25–30% had never before visited the site.
