"If you’ve spent any time at all in the voluntary sector over the last 40-odd years, chances are you’ve come across Michael Norton – or at least his work.
Even those that don’t know Michael, or are not familiar with his name, are likely to have trodden a path that he has helped to carve.
His fingerprints are everywhere; in fundraising training, in youth empowerment, in women’s rights, in social franchising, in crowdfunding, in social enterprise – the list goes on. The deeper you delve into his expansive career, the more you realise just how ubiquitous and influential Norton has been."
Michael took the time to mention which projects he will be backing in the future with our very own Best Foot Foward (BFF) being mentioned along with backers such as the House of Commons and Goldman Sachs.
"...And if by some freak chance you’ve not yet happened upon any of Michael Norton’s projects, there remains every chance that you will. He’s presently working on a host of new ideas... Best Foot Forward is a training programme where unemployed people shine shoes to raise money for charity – the House of Common and Goldman Sachs are already on board to host shoe-shine days."
