Lindsey is a TES Award-winning fundraiser with over ten years' experience of working in development and alumni engagement across the higher education and schools sector. 

Lindsey is currently building a new Development Office at Bradford Grammar School, which was recently voted 2018 Northern Independent School of the Year by the Sunday Times and counts David Hockney, Alastair Campbell, and Adrian Moorhouse MBE amongst its alumni. She has strategic oversight of fundraising, alumni and corporate relations, and marketing and communications activity and is in the preliminary stages of planning a major fundraising campaign for the school.

Prior to moving up north, Lindsey was Development Director at the Independent Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham (KES and KEHS) for almost three years. During this time, she raised over £4.8 million for Assisted Places and capital projects across two distinct campaigns at very different stages of evolution, developing a dynamic alumni engagement programme at the girls’ school and broadening corporate engagement with KEHS as part of the Delyvere Campaign, At KES, she led the Development Office through the close and celebration phases of the school’s £10million AP100 Campaign.

Lindsey began her fundraising career as a major gifts officer at the University of Oxford, where for seven years she led on fundraising for access projects and bursary provision, securing over £5 million in new donations as part of the ground-breaking Oxford Thinking Campaign. A graduate of the University of Oxford and the first in her family to go to university, she is passionate about using philanthropy to advance educational opportunities – education proving so transformational in her own life.
