“Lorraine also works so hard in maintaining a hand on approach within the community and is one of the few people I know who really utilities social media as an awareness and connectivity tool for growth.
Lorraine is also hugely approachable as an expert in 3rd sector success and I've personally sought to learn from her experience as CEO and founder of The Lewis Foundation in developing my own community work.”
“We always want to engage new voices in the sector and not continually use the same contacts, finding representatives from small charities or even sole fundraisers is really important as many of our attendees feel alienated by the sessions that deal with bigger picture concepts and from seeing your posts on LinkedIn I could see you were someone passionate about your cause who managed a wide variety of areas and who spoke well on the issues affecting your charity.
With the session on Wellbeing, after the last couple of years, fundraisers have been demoralised and felt isolated and your insight helped them to feel that they weren’t alone, there was someone else talking about the same issues that they felt and you gave practical advice for them to take away and that’s invaluable.
Lorraine is an eloquent speaker who is passionate about her cause and draws on her own experiences to give great meaning to a wide range of topics.”
