About me

Hello, thanks for dropping by.

I'm Paul and I work at Open Fundraising where I'm Head of Mobile.

I’ve been working in fundraising since 1996. Before I joined Open in 2011, I was client services director at telephone fundraising agency Pell & Bales.

I’ve worked with many charities and membership organisations - including Cancer Research UK, the NSPCC, The Labour Party, UNICEF UK and National Trust - to deliver fundraising and campaigning activity that inspires people to take action.

I love my job, love the clients I work with and still get very excited about the potential of technology to change the world for the better. 

I blog about fundraising, mainly individual giving and mobile related stuff, though not exclusively so. I post about the things that inspire, interest or excite me with the occasional opinion or mini rant about what I think is important.

I can be found all over the internet, but am most active in the following places ….
