Income from Trusts and Foundations has been a mainstay of funding for the work of Sepsis Research FEAT since its inception.
The fundraiser who has made possible so much of this charity’s work is the wonderful Susan Sheridan. Very sadly Susan leaves the charity this week, after nearly seven years, to expand on other freelance commitments. We wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Susan for all she has done and for the wonderful can-do spirit that she has brought to the team here. We will miss her.
Stepping into the Trusts & Foundations role in Susan’s place is Dr Alison Staples, who brings an extensive knowledge of the trusts funding landscape, having worked in the sector for nearly 30 years.
A zoologist with a PhD in science, Alison joins Sepsis Research FEAT in April 2025, having worked in fundraising for almost 30 years. Based in Manchester, she’s held senior positions at a number of charities, most recently Antibiotic Research UK, whose work aligns very closely with that of Sepsis Research FEAT. Alison will be drawing on that knowledge and skillset to continue to raise the profile of Sepsis Research FEAT and the invaluable work we deliver.
A very warm welcome to Alison – we really look forward to working alongside her as Sepsis Research FEAT continues to expand its work to save lives and improve outcomes for sepsis patients in the UK and worldwide.
