Head of Trusts and Foundations

Patty Da Silva

I am an experienced fundraiser and have worked primarily within health charities over the past 13 years. I have developed relationships with a variety of Trusts and Foundations over that time, building up a strong track record of securing and successfully account managing transformational gifts. I am currently the Head of Trusts and Foundations at the BHF and I am proud to lead a small team there and continue to make a difference.
