Tom started out in the digital agency world, working on a range of clients from Barclaycard to the Open University. Deciding that he wanted to use his skills to drive social impact, he moved into the charity sector with roles at WaterAid, Parkinson’s UK & Diabetes UK.

At Raise Your Hands he worked to raise the profile and impact of small charities around the UK, developing pioneering fundraising events like Midnight Madness.

Underpinning all his work is a curiosity about how to inspire and influence people to take positive action in the world. He is particularly excited about applying this to the biggest challenge of our time; climate change and the biodiversity of our local habitats.
