**Bill Clinton (yes, the former President of the USA) 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.
