Organiser Christina Poulton Creative
Organiser of Setting up an arts organisation
I am an arts trainer, producer and project manager, working for theatres, festivals and arts charities across the UK for the last 15 years. I love working with artists and organisations on their finance, policies, fundraising, organisational development and procedures - all the things that underpin the arts and allow amazing projects to happen. My fundraising experience covers the spectrum from raising small pots of money for community projects through to leading on fundraising strategy and successful multi year large-scale bids for Arts Council National Portfolio Organisations. My training is informed by extensive, current experience.
“Christina's natural manner along with her clear knowledge and experience makes her the perfect presenter. She is fun yet calm and speaks with a confidence and warmth that grabs you from start to finish. Her sessions are a brilliant and clever blend of group exercises, work in pairs and classic presenting that can engage people of all learning styles" Sam
