We're very proud to share that our Development Manager, Isobel Froston, was awarded the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's Rising Star award at their Midlands Conference in early October. 

Isobel joined the National Youth Choir's Development Team just over a year ago ago as our Development Officer and was relatively new to the field of fundraising. However, since joining our community she has excelled in all areas of her work, which includes raising over £70,000 from Trusts and Foundations, £70,000 through two Big Give Trusts, growing our Friends Scheme and successfully implementing many new systems and processes in our online Customer Relationship Management system. 

Due to this incredible first year, Isobel has since been promoted to Development Manager and is now overseeing all of our Individual Giving programmes, as well as Financial Assistance grant applications to Trusts & Foundations.

Congratulations Izzy on this incredible achievement!
