Ben has worked in the charity sector for over eight years with CAF and previously with a small national health charity.

His experience combines both commercial and third sector roles in business development, fundraising and stakeholder engagement.

Ben has worked as a Client Relations Manager at Charities Aid Foundation since October 2015. Providing support to a wide range of charities and not-for-profit organisations, he has helped his clients maximise the return they receive on cash surpluses, increase their income by looking at different methods of fundraising and has provided organisations with the finance required to invest in capital projects.

Prior to joining CAF, Ben worked for a firm that designed and implemented the application and monitoring processes for grant-making organisations and has also previously worked in retail and commercial banking for 25 years (latterly working with local government and charities).
