A Testimonial from Friends of Bude Sea Pool
From Sarah Moore, Chair of Board of Trustees
Josie worked for the charity as Charity Manager. As part of her responsibilities, she worked on the charity’s CRM system, Beacon CRM. She was instrumental in setting up the implementation of Beacon for the charity, ensuring that it met our needs. She worked on cleansing the charity’s membership data to ensure that ‘clean’ data was transferred.
Josie was diligent in identifying and working with all the stakeholders in the system. In particular, Josie worked on increasing the charity’s membership subscription fees and maximising Gift Aid relief, both of which had a significant impact on the charity’s income. She also set up a structure within the system to support a new annual fundraising event – a charitable golf fundraising event, The Gill Cannon Cup.
