Fundraising is a hugely exciting, rewarding and skilled profession. But it can also be demanding, emotionally involving and pressured. With times of high stress and the ongoing impact of needing to hit targets, the job can take its toll on people. For fundraisers to be able to do their best work, they need to be looking after their own, and their colleagues’, wellbeing.

Everyone in a charitable organisation deserves and needs to be treated with respect, fairness and consideration. When circumstances put extra demands on us, or increase our stress levels, making sure that fundraisers are properly supported is essential. A burnt-out workforce is not sustainable. Looking after and supporting the wellbeing of fundraisers is crucial to delivering your charitable mission and especially necessary now, as Covid-19 continues to impact our work and personal lives.
