Louise Parkes

Fundraising Director

Louise Parkes - British Heart FoundationPreviously Director of Fundraising at Shelter, Louise joined us in our 50th year to implement our most ambitious fundraising campaign to date – the Mending Broken Hearts Appeal.

“Joining the BHF in its 50th year is quite literally a golden opportunity.

"It’s a great time to reflect on a half-century of life-saving work, engage people in the celebrations and win support for the charity’s future - including its new appeal to raise money for pioneering research to mend broken hearts.”

Before joining Shelter in 2009, Louise was head of corporate, trusts, events, celebrities and regional fundraising at Help the Aged. Her experience also includes roles with Cancer Research Campaign and the National Deaf Children’s Society.
