After a brief break, our high value fundraiser Louise is kicking off another round in our blog relay, a whistle-stop tour of Greenpeace staff here in the UK. Click here to catch up on the other entries.
Like my colleague Andrew, I'm rather smug too - I love my job. I'm employed to make sure the people who fund our existence know how we spend their money wisely and effectively. I'm often the contact point for the amazing people that give very generous gifts to our campaigns. They range from the couple who give us £1,000 each year instead of buying Christmas and birthday presents for their entire family (yes, these amazing people are real), or a foundation which generously grants us £70,000 for a specific project, such as our palm oil work in Indonesia.
