The Charity Corner Newsletter - Ep 2
We?launched?the?Yolk Recruitment Charity Newsletter last year?to celebrate Welsh Charities Week.
Every quarter,?we'll be gathering information from our charity partners to give people in the industry the opportunity to showcase events, good news stories, as well as the latest charity sector jobs and career opportunities/insights. Many people ask why I am so passionate about recruiting for the charity sector. I have been connected with the charity sector throughout my whole life as I have cystic fibrosis, a genetic condition affecting more than 10,800 people in the UK. I am proud to talk about my cystic fibrosis and raise awareness to help others with the condition, as well as normalise invisible illness.?Having becoming aware of the budgetary restraints charities have as well as the competition charities can face against the private sector,?I am writing this newsletter as a way of giving back to my clients and the sector.?
Please use this newsletter as an opportunity to shout about the next thing coming up in your organisations and get in touch with me to be featured in the next edition.
