Professional Fundraising magazine together with Justgiving have set up the Guru 
House, a humorous take on Big Brother, to see who is the most popular fundraising“
guru”. Proceeds will be donated to charity.
Gurus on the list are Steve Andrews,
Simon Burne, Ken Burnett, Stephen Butler, Alan Clayton, Tony Elischer, Paul Farthing,
Neil Henderson, Stephen Pidgeon and Bernard Ross.

The relevant numbers to call were published in today’s Convention Daily, published
by Professional Fundraising at the Institute of Fundraising’s National Convention
in London.

Each text costs £1.50 with proceeds going into a central pot which the winning guru
will be able to donate to one of the 1,000 charities that use Justgiving.com.
