wellbeing

Back in 2017, I was recovering for brutal (but successful) treatment for Breast Cancer when I came across a Ted Talk on wellbeing by Jim Harter of Gallup. 

Having worked in as a Charity Senior Leaders for 10 years and as a professional fundraiser for 9 years prior to that, I was already aware of some of the positive wellbeing impacts of a career in the charity sector.  But unfortunately, I was also aware of many significant negative wellbeing impacts it has too.  I knew this was happening, but struggled with communicating just how widespread some of the challenge were.

​

So, in 2019/20 I ran the UK's first piece of Fundraiser Wellbeing research, the Charity Well Research Project.  In 2020, the headline results of that survey were carried in Fundraising Magazine.

​

Poor wellbeing isn't usually improved by focussing on wellbeing.  It's improved by focussing on and 'fixing' the causes of poor wellbeing

​

I've spent my time between 2018 and today, creating programmes, projects and personalised consultancy work that help to address the root-causes of some of the 'unwellbeing' the research uncovered.

​

Wellbeing informs, and is the desired end result, of all of the work I do.
