🎉 Happy 2nd Anniversary at Heart Research UK to our amazing ‘award-winning’ Fundraising Assistant, Olena Pfirsch! 🎉 Olena hit the ground running from day one, using her natural people skills to build excellent relationships with colleagues and create outstanding supporter care for our event participants. She quickly took on managing her own events and played a crucial role in growing third-party income—almost tripling the target in 2024 for this income stream. 📈 Her expertise in data has been invaluable, helping us enhance our fundraising strategies and track progress. She’s always willing to go above and beyond—in 2023, Olena ran 2 half marathons and a full marathon, raising £1,300 for Heart Research UK! 👟❤️ Currently working toward her Certificate in Fundraising with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising, Olena’s dedication to professional development is clear, and her support has enabled us to scope out new income streams and continue to thrive. Just recently, Olena was celebrated at the Yorkshire Chartered Institute of Fundraising Awards, where she won Fundraising Newcomer of the Year. Here's what the judges had to say: 🌟 "Nice creativity and support for others and positive that they’re undertaking their own professional development." 🌟 "Really impressed by how this person seems to be a born fundraiser. Super dedicated, and a great use of initiative, combined with a real talent for stewardship and insights!! I think this fundraiser will do great things in our sector." 🌟 "Sounds like a great addition to the team, a natural fundraiser. Being data-driven is fantastic, reviewing results and changing behaviour accordingly. Innovative approaches to fundraising to engage new audiences, and willing to go above and beyond with donor care. An asset to the team." And as if that wasn't enough—Olena buys ME a gift each year on HER anniversary! 🎁🙌 (although yes, she has brought torrential rain to many of our events) Thank you, Olena, for all your hard work, creativity, and positive energy—you truly make a difference! 🌟 #HeartResearchUK #FundraisingExcellence #AnniversaryCelebration #AwardWinningFundraiser #ThankYouOlena
