Want to be a guest? A few things to note
I’ve had quite a few PR people get in touch. Thanks. However, I choose all my guests myself and don’t want to promote anything or work to media deadlines. However, if you’re an individual at the top of your game and have some good chat, do drop me a line and we’ll see if we can meet.

My name is Lizzie Jenkins and I just want to say that Vicki Dawson is a pretty amazing woman in her own right all she needed was the confidence to realise that. I am very proud to have worked alongside her, she didn’t mention the hours and hours that she worked in her own time! From deepest darkest Cornwalll
Lizzie, I’m sorry I missed this message last month. I loved hearing from Vicki and you two working together. Two pretty amazing women it sounds like;)
I am a bit of a loan ranger, solo fundraiser for a charity in a remote area of New Zealand having moved here from the UK. I love staying connected with the fundraising world through your podcast. It’s keeping me sane and on track. Thank you Beth!
