The role covers membership, business development, fundraising, enterprise and marketing.

Gillen Knight, Head of Marketing and Membership said:

'I am delighted to be taking on the role of Head of Marketing and Membership at such an exciting time for NCVO. My aim will be to make NCVO be recognised as the most representative and effective umbrella body, in terms of meeting organisations needs, and effecting the changes that are necessary for the good of the people who depend on their services. There is never a time to be complacent, we are always striving to prove the benefit that we bring to members, and attract new members to the fold.'
