Meet the team

---

Nathan is a very keen fundraiser and volunteers for many different charities whether they are small local charities or national leading charities. In the last 10 years Nathan has generated over £10,000 for good causes and will continue to give his time and support to those who need it.

Nathan founded the Polegate Scarecrows Community Fund on the 8th of November 2019 after running two successful Scarecrow Festivals in his home town of Polegate.

The Polegate Scarecrow Festivals of 2018 and 2019 supported three different local charities raising over £1,500 and Nathan wanted to continue to support local people and their communities. Nathan started planning the very first Scarecrow Festival in 2017 after seeing the nearby Pevensey Villages Partnership's popular annual event.

Nathan's Scarecrow Festival in 2018 was noticed by the Eastbourne Lions Club and they wished for Nathan to enter their Young Ambassador of the 21st Century competition in which Nathan went on to win and gain £50 sponsorship into the next Scarecrow Festival.

Nathan is always thinking of new income generation methods whilst giving the chance for his supporters to not only donate to a good causes but to have a chance of supporting themselves.

Nathan also supports a charity close to him through the community fund giving local residents the time and place to meet and engage in social activities whilst raising money for Fight for Sight funding vital research into an eye condition he suffers with.

As Head of the Events Team he is responsible for all our income generation efforts along with our means of service delivery. He is also responsible for all the day-to-day running of the organisation whilst promoting our cause and working with his volunteers.
