Forever Manchester, the community foundation for Greater Manchester established almost four decades ago, has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of Anne-Marie Wynne as its new director of philanthropy development & marketing.
Wynne joins Forever Manchester from Moya Cole (previously St Ann’s) Hospice, where she was head of fundraising and capital campaign.
