Rachel Roberts – Fundraising Lead

I am proud to have the role of Fundraising Lead at the Coalition as I’m passionate about driving meaningful change. Having co-founded a Voluntary ‘Good Neighbours’ Scheme in 2019, supporting Godalming residents with accompanied lifts primarily to medical appointments, I was honoured to accept ‘The Certificate of Appreciation’ from The Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey on their behalf - for services to the community during Covid.

As a mum of two boys I have tirelessly fundraised for the PTA at their schools: whether that’s walking up and down the local high street asking for raffle prizes, marketing and selling Christmas trees or spending my evenings filling bags of sweets for the summer fete . I like to get involved!

Outside of work and volunteering I love a fundraising challenge doing sports and have run both the London and New York marathons, completed the 3 Peaks Challenge and cycled from London to Brighton - raising thousands of pounds for charity. Having survived cancer in 2015 I am passionate about supporting Macmillan and combine my love of baking with hosting a coffee morning every year.
