Having joined UCL in 2009, Angharad was appointed as Vice-President (Advancement) in October 2021.
Angharad was previously Director of Development, leading on all philanthropic income generation and the UCL supporter experience. Angharad is a deeply experienced fundraising professional, contributing to and leading philanthropic income delivery across a number of income streams in both the charity and higher education sectors.
The £600 million It’s All Academic campaign officially launched in 2016 following a very successful private fundraising phase. Under Angharad’s leadership a network of fundraisers and supporter experience professionals worked across all income streams including individual, corporates, trusts, foundations and legacies in order to engage a global network of donors who support the strategic vision of UCL.
The campaign closed in 2020, having raised nearly £624 million, and inspired over 263,000 volunteering hours. Gifts given to UCL under the campaign are transforming areas like diversity and scholarships, access to justice, the arts, global prosperity and diagnostics, research and treatment in cancer and neuroscience.
Prior to joining UCL, Angharad worked within the charity sector working at the NSPCC in several frontline fundraising roles during the Full Stop Campaign – the largest charity fundraising campaign of its time. In addition Angharad was a senior account manager at Goodwork, a social enterprise delivering marketing and communication outputs for a range of clients in the not-for-profit sector in both the UK and internationally. Angharad also worked in Thailand coordinating an international volunteer programme which spanned a number of education and conservation projects across the country.
Angharad has a degree in Theology, Religious Studies and Philosophy from the University of Leeds and is a Trustee at Mercy Ships UK, an international development organization.
Angharad regularly speaks in the UK and Europe for The Council for Advancement and Support of Education, primarily speaking on developing major gift programmes, legacy fundraising and securing complex seven and eight figure gifts.
