Chairman of Trustees at ActionAid from 1998 to 2003, Ken began his fundraising career with that charity in 1977 and since has been a leading fundraising strategist in the UK and around the world. He’s founder and a trustee for SOFII (www.sofii.org), the Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration and a trustee of the World Land Trust. Until recently Ken was an independent trustee of the UK Disasters Emergency Committee. In July 2015 he was invited as plenary guest speaker at the 1st China Fundraising Conference in Beijing – the only non-Chinese speaker at this event. Also in 2015 he co-founded The Commission on the Donor Experience with the aim of putting the donor, rather than fundraisers’ targets, at the heart of fundraising strategies, believing this will be more productive and sustainable for both causes and donors in the medium to long term. He has just proved to a famous British orchestra that they really can recruit new donors cost-effectively, in volume, and win awards while doing it.
