Scottish Events and Community Committee

Lexy grew up fundraising throughout school and university, both organising and taking part in various challenge events, markets, afternoon teas, gala dinners and so on. Initially studying for a medical degree, she moved to Robert Gordon University to study Events Management and graduated in 2024 with first class honours. After a short time planning weddings for a large national hotel chain, she bagged her first professional fundraising job as the events and community fundraising officer at Worldwide Cancer Research (mainly focusing on their challenge event portfolio). In July 2026, she moved to the National Trust for Scotland where she is currently the Special Events Fundraising Executive.  

She joined the SIG in March 2025 as a general member, taking on Chair in Feb 2026. She is also on the Scottish Fundraising Conference and Awards Committee, assisting with planning the awards gala dinner, website development and designing the conference and awards brochures. 

When she’s not planning events or on one of many side quests, you can find Lexy doing something outdoorsy (surfing, munro bagging, paddleboarding) usually with her cockapoo, Poppy, in tow. She also loves to cook, do anything creative, and loves a bit of yoga and pilates. 

Kali is new to the fundraising sector and has become a community and events fundraiser. She started out in the third sector as a community support worker and upon moving to Scotland became a dementia care practitioner. After spending some time working in academia as a research assistant, she moved into fundraising as a way of combining the research skills she developed with her love for social care and engaging with people and communities.

Outside of work, she enjoys going to rugby games and is a new dog mom so spends a lot of her time as activity co-ordinator for her wee sausage dog.

Eve first discovered her passion for fundraising while volunteering at a Dundee-based charity during her Psychology degree. She loved connecting with the local community and found great satisfaction in organising multiple successful fundraising events. After building further experience as a volunteer fundraiser with Aberdeen-based charity MISS, Eve transitioned into her professional career. She is now a proud Community Fundraising Officer (North) at Scottish Huntington’s Association, an organisation she loves being a part of and representing.

Outside of work, Eve stays active through water polo, hillwalking, and yoga or pilates. She also enjoys a board game night and cooking tasty meals for others.

David has worked in a diverse range of fundraising roles for over a decade. He founded a charitable organisation which was steadily grown into a national entity. After some time working with established organisations to strategically grow their community engagement, event portfolios and income generation, David joined the third sector and now works with SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) as their North Fundraising Lead.

David loves nothing more than a good restoration project, is often found at the cinema, and can be easily tempted by chocolate biscuits.

Angela is the Senior Supporter Care Executive at Worldwide Cancer Research, an Edinburgh-based charity that funds discover cancer research all over the world. She has worked in the charity sector for seven years in a Supporter Care and Fundraising role. Before moving into the third sector, she spent eight years working in hospitality overseas in France and Greece. Wanting to make a difference and contribute to meaningful causes, Angela transitioned into the charity sector where she now supports supporters and fundraising activity with care and dedication. Outside of work, Angela is a big football fan and a busy parent to three energetic children, who certainly keep life lively and full of fun.
