**Charles Coldman has been appointed as the new trusts and major gifts fundraiser
at The Sick Children’s Trust, the charity which provides free, high-quality ‘Home
from Home’ accommodation for families whose children are seriously ill in hospital.**

Coldman, 27, is tasked with working with the head of fundraising, Jane Featherstone,
to develop and implement a fundraising strategy to secure income, and to develop
and maintain a strong network of donors to broaden the charity’s supporter base.

He joins The Sick Children’s Trust after founding African Promise in 2008, a small
international development charity, which works with primary schools in Kenya.

He said: “I wanted to be an integral part of a small but ambitious charity where
I can have a tangible impact. I’d heard about The Sick Children’s Trust through 
a family friend and this role ticked all the boxes. I’m hugely excited by the new
challenge and at the prospect of helping with the exciting growth plans of the charity.”
