The Mental Health Foundation has enlarged its fundraising department to a 12-strong
team following a review and a re-structure.

The charity has created two Fundraising Business Units, under ‘Individual Giving’
and ‘Partnerships’, led by Peter Jennings, the interim Director of Fundraising and
Communications.

Four new permanent members of staff have already been recruited: Brian Reehl, Regular
Giving Executive; Tom Palmer, Individual Giving Executive; Lesley Braden, Legacy
Marketing Executive; and Helen Cook, Fundraising Assistant.

Head of Partnerships.

The fundraising review, part of a new three-year fundraising strategy, was carried
out by the [Management Centre](http://www.managementcentre.co.uk) and [People Business](http://www.peoplebusiness.co.uk).

Peter Jennings, who was previously the Fundraising and Marketing Director at Marie
Curie Cancer Care and the Deputy Chief Executive of the RNID, said: “We go into 
our 2010-11 financial year with a sound fundraising strategy and full of confidence
that we can grow our voluntary income. We also aim to improve our overall return
on investment.”
