Hello, I’m Richard Barwick, and I currently serve as a fundraising officer at Brainkind. With over a decade of experience in the fundraising sector, I have had the privilege of working both locally and nationally, which has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the diverse challenges and opportunities within this field.
My journey in fundraising began with a passion for making a difference in people’s lives, and it’s this passion that has fuelled my commitment to creating impactful initiatives. Throughout my career, I’ve honed my skills in organising campaigns, cultivating donor relationships, and implementing new ideas that not only meet but exceed fundraising goals. I thrive on the challenge of turning ideas into actions, and I pride myself on being both creative and analytical in my approach.
I value the importance of being approachable and fostering an open-minded environment. I strive to build strong relationships with colleagues, donors, and stakeholders. I believe that collaboration is key to achieving our fundraising goals, and I actively seek input and ideas from others. My friendly demeanour makes it easier for people to engage with me, whether they are long-time supporters or new connections who are just beginning to learn about our cause. I believe that inspiration can come from many places, and I enjoy connecting with others who share similar interests.
I am dedicated to continuous learning and professional development, always seeking to expand my knowledge and stay updated on best practices in fundraising. This openness to new ideas not only enhances my own skills but also contributes to the growth of the organisations I work with.
At Brainkind, I am proud to contribute to a mission that aligns with my values and commitment to social impact. Together with my colleagues, I work diligently to raise funds that support critical projects and initiatives that benefit the people we support. My passion for fundraising is matched only by my determination to create lasting change.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I am always open to new opportunities and connections, so please feel free to reach out!
