It's been a while LinkedIn: Until today, my header said Happy New Year 2023! I'm glad to report that it was so much more than that. I started my #NewJob last January, made a LinkedIn banner saying something about 'manifesting a wonderful year', and put my nose to the grindstone. I must admit I didn't look up in this direction. Of course the learning curve was wonderfully steep, as I stepped into the world of an operational charity from the grantmaking wing of the sector. I must admit that I ignored you LinkedIn. Forgive me. I focussed on learning my craft in my first #fundraising role. I am delighted to report that I am still here, passing my probation with flying colours, and surpassing my grants and trusts fundraising target for the year. Trusts and Foundations are of course the 'biggy', as the majority of Keynsham Mencap's fundraising is from them. Beginning to understand the funding landscape has been such a sweet journey. I have far to go for sure and am increasing my networks to do just that. I have discovered that my English teacher writing and storytelling skills are key to showing the world what we do and unlocking their compassion and coffers. I have noted that my relationship building skills are, as they said in my skills-based interview, so important to this role. I have become embedded in this astonishing local community of people with a learning disability and #neurodivergence, their families, friends and advocates. My 9 year old and I are volunteering at the disco tomorrow. We can't wait...and yes we will overdress and love it! #CongaPotential While I can't promise to be here daily, in fact I promise not to be as time does not permit, and I am on annual leave next week, I hereby solemnly swear to connect with you all a little more in 2024. We held our annual strategy event on Tuesday, and my head is buzzing with plans and events which I will share in good time. Spoiler - yes I will be doing classic fundraiser things such as leaping off tall buildings, and attending charity balls. If you'd like to know a little more about K&DMS, and the people you can see on my spangly new header, hop over to 'the other place', the platform I _did_ pay attention to last year, to check out ThisIsMe! named after the song that became an anthem for the #charity and for #disabled people everywhere. I created this #ImpactStory ocasional blog to amplify and centre the voices of people with a #LearningDisability, and showcase what we do through them. I hope you will enjoy this insight into their lives and interests. In the picture below is Paul, who attends several of our clubs every week and has been doing so for years. https://lnkd.in/g4pEK3_7
