Simon Deverell, Joint CEO, chose Led By Donkeys:

> “Led By Donkeys’ simplistic and ingenious campaigning over the last 7 years has
> continuously ‘hit the nail on the head’ as far as highlighting ‘accountability’
> in politics. It’s calling out flip-flopping politicians in the most simplistic
> way – by reminding us, the public, what our politicians previously said or campaigned
> to win votes on. LBD have mastered crowdfunding, building a huge following that
> want to see their (often futile) frustration amplified through their message. 
> Top marks on all fronts.”

Dawn Bebe, Joint CEO, chose the Noah Donohoe project:

> “I was blown away by the Noah Donohoe project – they raised over £179,000 to continue
> the fight to find out the tragic circumstances of young Noah’s death and create
> a film about it. It struck me that in a desperate and deeply challenging situation,
> the crowd had responded to the call of Noah’s mother and the investigations team
> and united to provide the cash to enable them to continue to seek out the truth.
> There are few other ways this work could have found the funds to continue and 
> it brilliantly demonstrates how crowdfunding brings communities together to make
> things happen.”

Phil Geraghty, Co-Founder, chose Ipswich Town Foundation:

> “Ipswich Town Foundation is an amazing story of what is possible with the Crowdfunder
> platform. They are doing wonderful work in the local community, but like many 
> charities have limited resources for fundraising. They have been running Crowdfunder
> Prize Draws every month, with amazing engagement from the local community and 
> using those funds raised to continue their great work. A shining light to all 
> charities on what is possible. “

Max Upton, Head of projects, chose the Music Venue Trust:

> “I’m fortunate to work with many inspiring and game-changing projects every day.
> One standout is Music Venue Trust. From raising over £4 million during the pandemic
> to #SaveOurVenues, running a £150,000 prize draw to win Alex Turner from Arctic
> Monkeys’ guitar, to more recently launching a £2.3 million community share offer
> to #OwnOurVenues. The team’s passion and commitment to supporting grassroots music
> venues is incredible. It’s a privilege to share a stage with such an awesome charity.”
