A small miracle has just occurred in the form of a two day per week job consulting to the Sax Institute, an impressive non-profit organisation working between policy-makers and researchers in the area of public health. My focus will be business development/communications and fundraising strategy and research. I’m looking forward to utilising some of that hard-won knowledge gained at New York University’s Centre for Philanthropy and Fundraising in July in the sweltering height (depth) of summer in the city. All being well I will begin in the next week or so.
