Martin Shaw has held senior posts in both the not for profit
sector and local authorities. Over the past twenty plus years he has been a
Fundraising and Management Consultant both independently and with MIDAS Charity
Appeals LLP, having spent most of his time on management and infrastructure
issues. In the past he has raised significant sums of money from sources such
as the European Commission, the corporate sector and
the Lottery, but in the past ten years or so he has specialised
on management issues with faith groups - much within the Muslim community. He
is now semi-retired.
His previous 25 years experience as a
professional youth and community worker enabled him in his spare time to be the
Chair of an outdoor pursuit centre for young people in the heart of Kings Cross
for over 12 years until 2006, and he was Chair of Haringey Shed, an inclusive
theatre company for children and young people for 12 years. He was also a
Trustee of several other charities including St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace
and Reconciliation, Third Text and Being Humanitarian, and now he acts as a
volunteer advisor to many other charities.

subject. He was able to address all the questions that were asked in away that was clear and helpful."
