26. Stevie Nicholson – Helping colleagues stay inspired and learning during lockdown

There are many factors that make it hard for your team to keep positive and proactive at the moment. In many charities, being separated geographically from colleagues for such a long time is having a serious effect on morale, confidence and problem solving. In this episode of the Fundraising Bright Spots podcast, I was delighted to talk to Stevie Nicholson, an Area Fundraising Manager at Diabetes UK. Stevie and her colleagues saw how crucial it was to regularly connect with and help colleagues across her fundraising department throughout the UK at the moment, and they’ve found a way to help them stay inspired by good ideas in spite of the lockdown. In this interview Stevie explains how the initiative came about, why she feels it has picked up such momentum, and for anyone who is thinking of implementing something similar, four tips to help you make it work in practice.
