Alison leads the Trust’s fundraising and communications work, building strong relationships with supporters and raising vital funds to protect local wildlife and wild places.
Alison joined the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust in 2022, bringing with her a wealth of experience in fundraising and external relations from her work in the education sector in Sheffield.
As Head of Fundraising and Communications, Alison has led on a number of key initiatives, including coordinating the successful fundraising campaign to secure the £1.2 million purchase of Ughill Farm in 2023. She particularly values the opportunity to connect with members and supporters.
“One of the most rewarding parts of my role is speaking with people about their hopes for the future. It’s a real privilege to talk about how gifts in wills can help protect local wildlife for generations to come.”
Outside of work, Alison enjoys walking, running, and cycling, and loves spending time in nature with her husband and three young children.
