Michael Naidu
Michael Naidu has worked in the sector for over ten years and was most recently head of donor marketing at Mencap, a position he left in 2012 amid a restructure. Between 2008 and December 2011 he was acting chair of the PFRA.
Naidu is interested in exploring the opportunity for small and local charties to use the current climate of Big Society and
localism to increase income received from individual giving.
He won the PF Professional Fundraiser of the Year Award 2008.

Door-to-door fundraising has bounced back with a vengeance after a slump in donor recruitment in 2009/10, but overall recruitment via face-to-face fundraising remains slightly lower than the record highs of three years ago.
