**Here are five more tweets for fundraisers, three of them featuring funding opportunities
for fundraisers (with a London focus), and two reminding us of the value and extent
of philanthropy, which really comes down to its impact on individuals who want to
help and those who need help.**

New categories in “the oldest and most prestigious Awards recognising excellence

## 5. Why does fundraising matter?

 

I’ve saved the best for last.

 

If you ever need reminding about why fundraising matters, why professional fundraising
matters, why it’s important to be able to ask, and just how much everyone in the
UK relies on charities, sometimes in the most extreme of circumstances, read Margaret
Clifton McNulty’s article. It is written by a professional fundraiser but, as she
explains, in a personal capacity as an aunt.
