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!”
