**Darren Maylam, Community Fundraising Manager at St Wilfrid’s Hospice, completed
the line-up of rising stars in fundraising at this month’s Fundraising Convention
in London.**

Maylam was the ninth of a group of fundraisers who had something valuable to say
but who had not yet spoken at the Institute of Fundraising’s annual Convention.

He used his nine minutes on the stage that is home to the London Symphony Orchestra
to remind fundraisers that members of [Generation Z](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Z)
are looking to charities for integrity and the chance to co-create experiences.
