Bill Clinton got to hear about UK Fundraising on his recent trip to Ireland, courtesy
of Lindsey Hood, the website’s advertising sales manager. In a bar with some Irish
fundraisers Lindsey turned to find she was standing next to the former President
of the USA. When he explained that he was attending a charity event (for Barnardo’s)
Lindsey pluckily mentioned that she was on charity business too, and proceeded to
mention UK Fundraising and its work. She even got an invitation from Mr Clinton 
to the Barnardo’s party upstairs.

That story should be one for Lindsey to dine out on for years to come.
