Kirstie, works at Caritas as our individual giving officer, building relationships with our donors and supporting them as they raise money for our charity.  She also raises money through our various campaigns and fundraising activities.   

She said: “I’ve worked at Caritas since April 2022.  I chose to work here after hearing about the fantastic work that is done to help individuals and families that are experiencing poverty or homelessness.  I wanted to be part of an organisation that made a difference to the lives of others, and treated everyone with the same dignity and respect.  

“The best thing about working here is knowing that everyone who works or volunteers at our projects all have the same passion and commitment to those that require our help.  It’s great working alongside so many wonderful people. 

“Working for a charitable organisation is really rewarding.  The best thing is seeing and hearing about the difference we are making to the lives of people in our local communities. When I joined I was also surprised by how everyone working here was so accessible, approachable and supportive. 

“If I had to sum up the difference my work makes in a sentence, I’d say that it ‘increases the funding that is needed throughout Caritas Salford to support those requiring our help.”
