Macmillan Cancer Relief has appointed a new Lottery and Statutory Funding Co-ordinator
to work with Joe Waterton, Lottery and Statutory Funding Manager.
Karen Devine will
be joining the charity to expand the fundraising opportunities from Lottery and 
statutory sources.

Since 2000, £6.5m of Lottery and statutory funding has been awarded to Macmillan
for a variety of services and posts ranging from welfare rights advice to Macmillan
GP Facilitators and carers’ schemes.

Joe Waterton, Macmillan Lottery and Statutory Funding Manager, said:

“With Karen on board, we will be able to extend our work in providing advice for
cancer self-help and support groups – enabling them to apply for small grants from
Lottery programmes like Awards for All. By doing so, we’ll be making a big difference
at community level.”

Karen joins Macmillan from the Wellcome Trust where she assessed and managed grants
for Research Fellows and other academics. She’ll be working alongside Joe in preparing
funding bids and managing grant income for the charity.
