About the author

After over 20 years in fundraising, Nicola now leads Oxfam GB’s new audience focused strategy, and is responsible for ensuring that in their public activities, Oxfam listens and responds to the interests and focus of their supporters.  Her first charity role in 1993 was at World Vision and since then she's worked across UK and international charities for humanitarian and development programmes and medical and child-welfare causes. She was a founding trustee of AfricaCheck (Africa's first fact-checking organisation) and a trustee of Livability in honour of her sister who was a beneficiary of their services. In her spare time she unwinds astride her motorbike and tweets @nicola_tallett.
