New blog 'The Funderer' debuts on UK Fundraising
Ian MacQuillin | 16 October 2006 | News
The sector’s other trade press titles might have closed their humorous columns and back pages, but that won’t stop UK Fundraising adding its own. Welcome to The Funderer, our latest blog.
While it is farewell to Raiser at Professional Fundraising magazine and to Neil Start at Third Sector’s Goldfish Action Group, we bid a nervous hello to The Funderer.
Yes, we took ages coming up with that title.

Our latest blog is designed to lighten the atmosphere around UK Fundraising, bringing you amusing, quirky, scurrilous (sometimes), and other musings. We’ll even let you respond to the posts, although don’t expect us to reveal the identity of The Funderer. Oh no.
So explore the first musings of The Funderer, grab the RSS feed (if that’s the kind of thing you do), and enjoy our latest blog.
