I thought the course was really good and I got a lot out of it. It was quite intense but the pace didn’t feel too overwhelming and we covered a lot. The best bits for me were on the fundraising and being relatively new to this it gave me a much wider perspective on the whole fundraising strategy – and basically what is possible and how to be creative. This was exactly what I was looking for.

Tracey Peedle, Senior Development Manager - Waterways Trust Scotland
