It was lovely to be asked to say a bit about what my role is, and what I enjoy about it. A lot of people can't understand why you would want to do project development and (especially) fundraising, but I love the impact I can have in shaping projects at such an early stage!
Many people ask us about how we take an idea from kernel stage to full test-and-learn prototype. Wonder no more - our Head of Development @simonbromhead.bsky.social has explained all in our latest #blog post
