National Youth Orchestra appoints fundraising director

RACHEL DOREE has been named National Youth Orchestra's (NYO) new Director of Individual Giving.

Doree joins NYO's development team, where she will head up the individual giving programme's growth.

A former Head of Individual Giving at Starlight Children's charity, Doree was part of the team that managed the expansion of direct marketing at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

"Music has been an important part of my family so I not only bring fundraising skill to NYO but also a firm understanding of power and importance of ensemble playing, especially in your teenage years," she said.
