Jim Morrison

Jim started began his career in fundraising 23 years ago with the British Red Cross. Since then he has worked for Shelter, Sue Ryder, Kidney Research UK and SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity.

He has fulfilled the roles of Area Fundraising Manager, Corporate Account Manager, Major Donor Manager and most recently the Head of Community Fundraising. During this time he has been responsible for raising millions of pounds through effective fundraising methods, managing large teams of volunteers and developing networks of supporters.

He saw first-hand the effects of ME when a close member of his family was struck down and unable to function effectively in all aspects of her life. This meant losing her career and falling into social isolation. After years of endless tests, she was finally diagnosed with ME, thankfully she is now in recovery.

Jim lives in North Cornwall, in a house that he built himself, with his wife, 3 boys and one daft collie. When not working Jim can be found helping out campers on an ecosite he runs or down at the beach surfing.
