Royal National Lifeboat Institute
VISION ENEMY HERO RECIPIENT
No deaths at sea
The cruel sea That tough, bearded, volunteer crewman
Stupid, rich day-sailor
who fell off his boat
![Page 24: ICAWC 2014 - Workshop Why Should I Give You my Money - Stephen Pidgeon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547ebb07b4af9fa9478b4577/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example 2: Action for Blind People
VISION ENEMY HERO RECIPIENT
Every blind and partially
sighted person given support when needed
Red tape and lack of money
for simple, practical support
Passionate people fighting bureaucracy
and indifference to
provide
Thousands of people (every 15 minutes) losing their sight and picking up
shattered lives
![Page 25: ICAWC 2014 - Workshop Why Should I Give You my Money - Stephen Pidgeon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547ebb07b4af9fa9478b4577/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Fundraising proposition
Every 15 minutes someone in the UK begins to
lose their sight. Today, with your help, we can
give them the practical support needed to
rebuild their shattered lives.

carry their load
The person fighting, with courage, to
turn their life around
![Page 28: ICAWC 2014 - Workshop Why Should I Give You my Money - Stephen Pidgeon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547ebb07b4af9fa9478b4577/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Example 6: Brighton Pavilion
VISION ENEMY HERO RECIPIENT
An opulent celebration of eccentric and
rich treasures are cherished to
bring pleasure to everyone…
forever
The deadly hands of time, familiarity and
indifference
The imaginations of George IV and
others and today’s
craftspeople who cherish and
protect the treasures
Our Nation
![Page 30: ICAWC 2014 - Workshop Why Should I Give You my Money - Stephen Pidgeon](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061204/547ebb07b4af9fa9478b4577/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
For the small sum of £200 you can stop the deadly
hands of time crumbling the unique celebration of
opulence, eccentricity and rich treasures - imagined by
George IV, artists, explorers, obsessives, and
connoisseurs - for the pleasure of everyone today and
in the future.
Fundraising proposition…

What the exercise has achieved…
• Fundraising and Marketing now working together, ‘hand in
glove’
• New tag line ‘Experience the extraordinary’
• Everybody now uses words like ‘cherished’, ‘eccentric’,
‘treasured’
• …instead of ‘conserved’ and ghastly descriptions like: ‘rich
collections and exciting exhibits are dynamically displayed
in stimulating surroundings’
