Arun Sharma
CEO & Founder
Arun’s experience stretches across both commercial and not-for-profit sectors. Following a career in client services in the private sector, he moved into the charity sector and held fundraising positions at Marie Curie, Shelter, and Age UK. After 10 years in fundraising he joined the ITV CSR Team and worked on various charity and community campaigns across a variety of ITV programme brands which funded charity and community projects in the UK and overseas.
With this knowledge and the experience of having worked as a fundraiser and funder, Arun set up TFA in 2015, with a focus on providing charities and fundraisers development, through training and strategic advice.
Arun’s training covers three relevant areas for fundraisers and that is, how to build long-term sustainable relationships, how to make a long-lasting impact with your audiences whatever the size, and how to ensure you stay relevant to your supporters.
Arun is passionate about supporting fundraisers with training as he knows the impact it can have on their careers, the cause they are promoting and in turn the outcome to society.
