Stephanie Shanks has helped Sight Scotland record its highest fundraising income in five years
Newly crowned Scottish Fundraiser of the Year for 2023, Stephanie Shanks from Sight Scotland, says collaboration and building a positive fundraising culture is the key to unlocking success.
In this time Sight Scotland has recorded its highest fundraising income in five years and has seen a 36.7 per cent increase in trust income. The charity’s Corporate Income has almost doubled as well. She said: “I was obviously delighted to be named Scotland’s Fundraiser of the Year, this is fantastic recognition for myself, the whole fundraising team, plus all the people I work with daily across the services at Sight Scotland. I know it sounds a bit clichéd, but we genuinely care about what we are doing and can see first-hand the huge difference our fundraising efforts are making. You need to be invested and enjoy what you are doing.
“Collaboration is crucial, I could see from a very early stage that the only way I could be a success in this position was to work hand in hand with services that I was trying to fundraise for. I had to try and encourage all stakeholders to engage and speak to the fundraising team, so they could share ideas and ultimately tell us what they need. I kept saying if you don’t ask you don’t get.
