**IFC founder and Chair, John Baguley launches his latest book, _Fundraising and
Zombies: A Guide to Charity Management_ this week.**

[⌊Baguley Fundraising & Zombies⌉⌊Baguley Fundraising & Zombies⌉[_[Fundraising and Zombies: A Guide to Charity Management](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fundraising-Zombies-Guide-Charity-Management/dp/1788033671/)_ is available
from 28 October on Amazon, and looks at the ‘zombie phenomena’ affecting charities,
examining why charities underperform, get in to trouble and fail to deal with the
zombies stalking their corridors.

Written from the perspective of a lifelong fundraiser, charity aficionado and founder
and chair of the [International Fundraising Consultancy](http://groupifc.com/), 
the book is an insider’s view of the pitfalls and heroics of life in some of the
UK’s best-loved charities. Real life anecdotes are examined and the problems they
caused revealed, along with solutions and advice.
