Creative masterclasses in fundraising launched

Gareth Edwards has launched a series of creative fundraising masterclasses available through his training consultancy Company Solutions (UK) Ltd.

Following a packed two-hour workshop at the Institute of Fundraising’s convention in Birmingham last week, Gareth Edwards has today launched a series of masterclasses available through his training consultancy Company Solutions (UK) Ltd. Corporate, Internet and Legacy Fundraising Masterclasses are available now, with others to follow in the near future.

Gareth said: “All too often fundraisers are trained in areas that give us general skills without addressing the specific problems we face. These masterclasses go one step beyond that. We take the specific challenges faced by a fundraising team and apply group and team creativity techniques designed for fundraisers to generate solutions and improvements. Every workshop produces tangible results to take back and use within that specific team to ensure the improvements in existing work and trialling of new ideas generated from the sessions are not lost.”

Harry Brown, fellow of the Institute and workshop participant said: “This was the outstanding session of the convention – serious content dealt with in a fun, practical and entertaining manner. Gareth demonstrated that creativity is just beneath the surface and was able to dip below that surface and net the results!”
