Jason Nuttall - Crowdfunder

At Crowdfunder he develops innovative match funding partnerships with organisations like Santander, Trust for London and Nesta.

Kate Peach - Each Peach Nursery and Childcare
Kate is the Vice-President of Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce. She set up Each Peach Nursey and Childcare which provides ‘exceptional quality childcare and education for children from new babies through to five year olds in Hove’.
Richard Piggot – The Homity Trust
Richard moved to Brighton after attending the Poly. His unique working life includes early years as a meteorologist and then his own wine business. He has always been interested in philanthropy and brought 20 plus years of local business involvement to the charity sector. Homity was originally a fairly dormant family trust. When it passed down a generation the new trustees were looking for a like-minded local with broad business and social experience to energise and relaunch it to do much more. As Manager, Richard guided the expansion over the last 5 years and is responsible for the all-round running of this small and reactive Trust delivering over £100k in small grants. Homity is solely a grants provider and spends a lot of time researching and verifying grant applications where a small amount can make a big difference. They look specifically to help improve the lives of those with the very least in society, alongside some smaller projects which appeal to the charity’s ideas and principles.
Francesca Purcell - Creative Development Consulting
Over the last 13 years Francesca Purcell has worked extensively in the field of national/international partnership development and new income generation for the non-profit sector. Francesca has established and supported numerous cross-sectorial partnerships collectively raising over £15m to empower local communities, working with charities and companies from the FTSE 500 based in the UK, South East Asia & sub Saharan Africa. Francesca's expertise is embedded within non-profit management, as well as NGO and private sector engagement for devising and implementing sustainable community development projects, maximising cross sector knowledge, expertise and funds. Francesca is now MD for Creative Development Consulting which allows her to work across sectors supporting more organisations who wish to make a positive difference to lives of others. Francesca have always taken great pride and joy in developing long term relationships between charities, NGOs, cultural/community organisations, private companies and supporters. Francesca believes that these relationships must be founded upon dedication to the cause, strategic crossover, trust and mutual respect.
