Charities
Having a charismatic Toastmaster at your charity event not only means that you can be rest assured everything will run to plan, but also means that your guests are inspired to dig that bit deeper in order to raise those vital funds.
I have supported and raised funds for many charities throughout my career including:
- St. Richard’s Hospice
- St. Mary’s Hospice
- County Air Ambulance
- Cats Protection
- NSPCC
- RSPCA
- Macmillan Cancer Research/MacMillan Nurses
- The British Heart Foundation
- RNIB
- Worcestershire Breast Care Unit Campaign
- Obstetric Colestasis
And many many more!
I engage your guests in a way that enters into the spirit of the event, while maintaining the relevant etiquette and protocols. I will announce and co-ordinate activities and give out prizes that will make sure that all guests want to be part of it, and will make generous donations as a result!
Such activities include:
- Charity auctions (I am a very proficient auctioneer)
- Raffles
- Quizzes
- Games
- Entry fees to play games
And far more besides.
I should also mention that I take NO FEE when officiating at these events. All I ever ask for is a testimonial if you are happy with my services
“Charity begins at home, but it doesn't have to end there!”
