​
Hannah has worked and volunteered for nonprofits for most of her professional life, specialising in fundraising, marketing and strategy development. She has worked for charities both large and small, as well as being a trustee for charities with no staff at all. She was part of the team at Macmillan Cancer Support that grew the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning from £7 million to £20 million in the space of two years. She also ran her first – and only – marathon in 2023 raising over £2,000 for charities supporting families with Down syndrome. Both were equally satisfying as a fundraiser. Motivated by her experiences as an employee, she gained a Masters in Organizational Psychology – the scientific study of human behaviour in the workplace. She is passionate about the potential for nonprofits to be better employers, inspired by their uniqueness rather than adapting approaches from the corporate sector. Hannah is currently an independent consultant, specialising in support for nonprofits with people strategy and fundraising culture.
