The fact is that you talk of a million pounds as though it is some great shakes nowadays. It isn't. But to be able to give a million the donor must be multi-millionaire. Millionaires are human too. They like good company. They like good causes too. We all like giving. It's just a matter of scale. I understand, Ellee.

It doesn't happen overnight. I learnt such a lot from this, and will write about it tomorrow. Sally, yes, the day was brilliant. Pip, no time for conkers! PCC, Sir Richard and the other speakers certainly shared many helpful tips. Did your charity have a delegate there? There were more than 1800 delegates, many from cancer charities.

Another way of doing it is to court rich people into the organisation's social circle somehow. You then do your best to make them want to champion the cause. I bet it goes something like this:
