Leadership & Community Initiative
Charity Fundraising Challenge
Demonstrating an entrepreneurial spirit and leadership outside the workplace, I led a team in an apprentice-style challenge for a local hospice. Tasked with turning an initial £100 into as much money as possible in one month, I spearheaded a strategy that included organising a community beer festival. Through effective team motivation, project management, and resourcefulness, we successfully raised over £7,000, showcasing a practical ability to drive impressive results from a minimal starting point.
