Feedback From Past Attendees
I must say I was really impressed with the course and the content. My knowledge and confidence has increased hugely.
I got a lot from your course and a lot of pointers!
I can say after years of fundraising I learnt so much from your bid writing course.
It was a very informative day and for someone who has not written bids before I am definitely more confident to get involved with them.
I found the workshops very helpful. It is a whole new area for me but the information you imparted has given me a lot of confidence with the direction I need to take and for that I am very grateful.
I found the day very informative and it gave me confidence to take on this aspect of work that I had been apprehensive of.
I enjoyed the session and found it valuable.
So much relevant, practical information all passed on in a way which I was able to follow. All greatly enhanced by your sense of humour.
It was a useful course and your examples real or otherwise helped to make it practical.
Many thanks. The morning just flew by - always a good sign!
I enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. I will begin putting this into practice.
