Fundraising Team
 

Paul Flitcroft

I joined SANE in February 2009 as Director of Fundraising & Marketing. My background is in commercial Marketing & Sales and I gained my MBA at Ashridge in 2002. As someone who loves to travel, I was fortunate that my work involved many years abroad – Australia, USA, Isle of Man, Italy and Russia. Since 2007, I’ve been happily back in the UK. This change also reawakened my interest in the charity sector, something I'd explored while doing my Masters. Working for SANE very much appealed to me; I’ve always been interested in psychology, philosophy and health.

I practice Ashtanga yoga, which often means getting up very early. Other interests include art, theatre and classical music. These creative arts help to balance the stress of being a Bolton Wanderers supporter!

My email address is pflitcroft@sane.org.uk and you can call on 0207 422 5544.

I joined SANE as a Fundraiser in April 2010, after 18 months working for a small disability charity. I graduated from the University of Kent in 2007 with a Master of Drama and Theatre Studies degree; since then I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for a diverse range of charities.

Working for SANE appealed to me because of the rising number of people affected by mental health issues, and the wonderful, dynamic work SANE is doing to address this, and ensure a better quality of life for those affected.

Outside of work I love going to the theatre, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.

I began my time at SANE as an office volunteer in October 2008 and joined the fundraising team on a full-time basis in February 2009. I wanted to get involved in charity work after spending time teaching English in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where I completed a 5-week TEFL course. After the course I stayed in Cambodia and spent time teaching at Pannasastra University and a small orphanage just outside the city. I returned to the UK in September 2008 already aware of the great work SANE was doing and wanted to help continue that work, and increase awareness of the charity.

Before my time in Cambodia I spent two years working for a professional soccer club in America as a Player Development Officer. This was a great experience which brought me into contact with many people I am still in touch with.

Prior to working in America I graduated from the University of Sussex with a degree in Product Design, where I was fortunate enough to captain the Men’s First XI Football team to the league and cup double during my final year!
