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.
