Marnie has over 20 years’ experience as a fundraiser working across the cultural, heritage and higher education sectors. She has particular experience in the establishment of new fundraising and alumni teams, strategic growth in building the donor base, and capital campaigns.
She was a trustee of Attitude is Everything (2017-2023), a charity which improves Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music by working in partnership with audiences, artists and the music industry.
Marnie’s engagement with Attitude is Everything, and now Overcoming MS, is driven by her experience of seeing the impact of her mother’s diagnosis of MS at a time when there was little to no medical or holistic support for people with MS. As a young carer, she saw how this limited her mother and her wider family’s lives and wellbeing.
She is excited to have the opportunity to be part of growing the Overcoming MS programme to help more people and families.
