About John Grain
After a failed career in football, and then as a ZX Spectrum programmer, I joined the voluntary sector in 1990 and have worked in fundraising ever since. I was fortunate enough to hold senior fundraising roles within a number of major charities including Oxfam, Practical Action and Habitat for Humanity International and to sit on the Disasters Emergency Committee. I founded John Grain Associates in 2004.
