Working with Becky to develop Fundraising apprenticeship assessment and training has been both inspiring and a pleasure. Her approach is always collaborative with the needs of learners and their development outcomes always at the heart of the content, programmes, practices and solutions being designed. Drawing on her both her fundraising and learning and development experience Becky brings great creativity to projects, with an openness to new ideas, methods and solutions. Becky’s work is also infused with her passionate concern for identifying and supporting wider access to fundraising careers and opportunities. I can’t wait for our next project ????.

At Cancer Research UK, Becky stood out at a bright, tenacious and ambitious fundraiser who thrived in a team leader role. Since leaving CRUK I have continued to work with Becky and have observed her huge contribution to the fundraising apprenticeship standard. I have no doubt about its significance for the sector and fundraising as a profession.
