Meet the Fundraising team

Meet our friendly fundraising team! Jim, Julia and Claire.

Jim recently stepped into the Fundraising and Partnerships manager role and has been at Youth Talk for over a year. Julia and Claire joined the team in November as Fundraising Assistants.

The Fundraising Team is an energetic, busy and creative team which involves juggling and plate spinning on a day to day basis! No two days are the same and we wouldn’t have it any other way!  We love that we get to work with a huge range of amazing supporters, from local community groups to local businesses to motivated individuals who are all as passionate as we are about providing free, confidential counselling for our local young people. So, whether it’s pulling our quiz teams together, cheering on our marathon runners or organising trips to Kilimanjaro, we’ll give it our all-our local young people need us and we’re stronger together.

We took a bit of time out to answer a few questions and hope you enjoy getting to know us a bit better!
