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](http://www.encephalitis.info/ESG/Support/Default.asp),
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.”
