Nominations sought for New Fundraising Award

• Institute of Fundraising

Charlotte Trinder, current Chair of the Northern Ireland IOF Committee stated

“We are delighted to offer this award in memory of Bryan to reflect the dedicated work which he did for fundraising in Northern Ireland. This Award is a tribute to Bryan and we hope it encourages and awards volunteers who give their time, energy and enthusiasm so generously to voluntary groups and organisations each year.”

Sadly last year the Northern Ireland Institute of Fundraising and the fundraising sector lost a pillar of our community, Mr Bryan Walliker.  Bryan had been in the field of fundraising for the last thirteen years. Bryan was instrumental in setting up the Diabetes UK fundraising office in NI and had been with Diabetes UK for over nine years.  He played an integral role in the fundraising sector always advocating best practice.

The Institute of Fundraising Annual Convention takes place on Thursday 28 June 2007 at the Ramada Hotel, Belfast.

As a past Chair of the Regional group in NI and later becoming a Fellow, Bryan had strategic vision, drive, leadership, a good sense of humour, and always managed to get the best out of the committee.  Through his involvement, regional membership increased, a presence was established in the west of the province and relationships with other bodies such as ACOVO were established. Bryan also raised the standards for fundraisers and volunteers province wide and contributed to the development of fundraising as a profession many aspire towards and want to volunteer in.

The Institute of Fundraising Northern Ireland is the representative body for fundraisers in Northern Ireland and part of the UK-wide Institute of Fundraising. The Institute of Fundraising is the professional body for fundraisers, working to promote the highest standards in fundraising practice and management.
