In my pro bono work I have learned lots of incredibly useful information:
- No plan survives first contact with the enemy
- The role of a professional fund raiser is effectively that of a puppet master conjuring money out of donors
- Commitment is justified if there is a credible plan of action
- You only get one chance – so be brutally clear about the risks to the historic and natural environment
Much excellent work is being done by the action group I contribute to and with a joint strategy we will succeed.
