Debbie Thompson

Debbie is currently Deputy Fundraising Director (Strategy & Innovation) at Greenpeace UK. She has been working in the charity sector for over 25 years, with a strong background in individual giving. Debbie was one of the first people to take on a senior role focused on fundraising strategy and planning in a large organisation and has led the development of income-generating strategies at Unicef UK, British Red Cross and Greenpeace UK.

Debbie has led teams across direct marketing, strategy & planning, insight and innovation. She has worked both directly within some of the UK’s biggest organisations and has experience of working as a fundraising consultant. 

Debbie is a firm advocate for flexible working and has made her own career work on a part-time and flexible basis whilst raising a family. Debbie would love to use her own experience in this area to mentor those navigating the squigglier career path.
