Fundraising manager moves on
Howard Lake | 2 March 2006 | News
The Dublin Simon Community is losing their head of fundraising, Katherine Ayres, who is leaving to join the Gurkha Welfare Association in London. Katherine has been with Dublin Simon for over three years where she was promoted from corporate fundraiser to fundraising manager.
Katherine will become deputy director of the Gurkha Welfare Association. During her time at Simon she oversaw a growth in fundraising income to nearly ‚€4 million annually. Christmas past, one of Simon’s major fundraising events, the House of Cards, which asks companies to donate to charity rather than send cards to customers, raised a record ‚€680,000.
Dublin Simon is one of the capital’s major organisation’s working with the homeless.
