Getting people to give you money is the hardest thing in the world

 

But every tiny donation counts

 

There are usually strict brand guidelines

 

Street fundraisers are the greatest people ever

 

How much family time you’ll sacrifice

 

You’ll spend a lot of time in meetings

 

A good CEO is worth their money

 

You’ll spend a lot of time stalking your competitors

 

90% of your time is spent on your major campaigns and nothing else

 

Volunteers are wonderful, but because they don’t get paid, they need inspiring to stay with you

 

But they are angels of the earth

 

There’s nothing better than meeting the people your charity has helped

 

Once you’ve worked in charity, you’ll never want to leave
