**Cancer Research UK**

Nominations said that Cancer Research UK is a “wonderful place to work” and at least
one proposer who said they had never experienced “Sunday night dread” of having 
to go to work the following day.

“The organisation attracts passionate, determined individuals who truly care for
the cause,” said one employee, “and this is reflected in everyday motivations making
it a happy and inspiring working environment.” The team take a sense of pride in
their job and work as hard as possible to achieve excellent results. The charity
focuses on developing staff and offers support for personal development as well 
as developing management and leadership programmes.

**Prostate Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF)**

The team at PCRF consists of just four people, but is “dynamic and creative”. The
recent very successful ‘Give a few bob’ campaign has made each member play to individual
strengths and ‘muck in’ no matter what the job title may be. This means staff gain
more skills, experiences and take on new roles as the charity develops. “We are 
part of the greater whole,” said one, who also pointed out that because the team
is so small, partners and families get involved in fundraising for the organisation.

**Save the Children**

Save the Children’s staff think it is a “fantastic charity” to work for, not least
because it is committed to sending fundraisers to projects, which makes a big impact
in fundraisers’ ability to communicate with passion and excitement about their work.
The training offered both internally and externally is second to none and enhancing
skills and ability is always encouraged. Salaries are in the top quartile for the
sector and other benefits are well above average.
