Howard Lake | 9 March 2004 | News
The Encephalitis Society has won a free day of corporate fundraising consultancy from Welcome Change Consultancy in a competition that was recently featured on UK Fundraising.
The win will help the charity support its 10th anniversary activities during 2004/05.
Commenting on winning the prize, Keith Steven, Projects Coordinator at the Encephalitis Society, said: “Encephalitis, viral inflammation of the brain, is devastating and potentially fatal. It is vital that the profile of both the condition and the charity that addresses it are significantly raised. An effective corporate partnership could really help us move towards that strategic objective as we celebrate our 10th anniversary during 2004/2005. We are confident that improving our approach to developing relationships with the corporate sector will bring a welcome boost to our fundraising strategy.”

John Thompson, Director of Welcome Change, said: “I am really looking forward to spending time with the charity to help develop its support from the corporate community. I am sure we’ll be able to help them build upon their excellent reputation and become an even more attractive option for companies to support.
“It was fun running the competition and reading all the entries and I do thank all those that took the time to enter. Of course, there could only be one winner but we are planning to run a similar competition later on in the year to give others a chance to benefit from our experience of developing corporate fundraising strategies.”
