Action4Youth is a dynamic youth charity serving 25,000 children and young people in the South East, with projects impacting employability and leadership skills, mental health, anti-knife and gang crime and inclusion.

Bonnie has worked with the charity since early 2021, devising and implementing a corporate fundraising strategy from a standing start. The organisation was previously reliant on trust and foundations as the main source of income. In her time, Bonnie has created a range of corporate engagement programmes to include strategic partnerships, event sponsorship, employee and client fundraising, corporate donations (capital and revenue), employee volunteering and gifts in kind.  Bonnie also works with the CEO and wider team to advise on and assist with other areas of fundraising and comms.  Brands introduced to the charity include John Lewis Foundation, Vinci Construction, NHBC, Tesco, Mazars, centre:mk and Handelsbanken.

Most memorable moment: Visiting the knife angel structure in Milton Keynes with funders and sponsors, and the sobering reminder of the impact of knife and gang crime on young people today.
