Dawn Varley, vice-chair of the Institute of Fundraising’s technology special interest group, has left her role at Age UK to join Purple Vision as a consultant.

Also a trustee of the Institute, Varley had spent ten months managing Age UK’s project to migrate 2.5m contacts to its main Raiser’s Edge database.

 With ten years’ experience in the charity and not-for-profit sector, she has held roles at Breast Cancer Care, Christian Aid and Wateraid.

“The job arose because of the growing need for fundraising consultancy with an understanding of supporter relations.  

“I have worked on processes and data that support fundraising throughout my career, and now I am looking forward to using this experience to help build relationships that are more beneficial for donors as well as fundraisers.”
