Brainwave appoints new London Development Managers as job share
Howard Lake | 30 October 2009 | News
Children’s charity Brainwave has appointed Sarah Drake and Vicky Prince-White as joint Development Managers in London. They will focus on supporting the charity’s individual and corporate supporters in the capital.
Christine Cryne, Brainwave’s CEO, said: “We employ a number of part-time staff and many have
flexible hours but this is our first proper experience of job share. We think it will add value to Brainwave as we get two people with different skills and experiences, which will increase the range of things we can do and the ideas we can generate”.
Prince-White moved in to the charity sector after nine years in commercial radio, working for Heart and LBC 97.3. She moved to Cancer Research UK, where she worked with the corporate sponsors of some of the charity’s biggest events.

In 2005 she began her fundraising career at the
Royal Academy of Arts, raising revenue for exhibitions from companies, individuals, trusts and foundations. For the last eight months she freelanced and also worked at the Royal Court Theatre and London Wildlife Trust.
