Good news from the fundraising team

She vividly remembers her science teacher telling her all girls class in Brighton repeatedly how lucky they were to be studying science.

Now also a member of the Florey’s giving group, the Brains Trust, Barbara enjoys meeting our researchers and probing them personally with questions about how the brain works. She is fascinated by neuroplasticity and how we can retrain our brain even after traumatic events like stroke.

Barbara has also generously decided to leave a gift in her Will to the Florey, and says that leaving a legacy is important to her.

“As a donor, it makes me feel like my support is ongoing – I really want to see the work continue. It’s nice to see what you have accumulated go to a cause you know and trust.”

Congratulations to Nola Wilmot, our Bequests and Advancement Executive, on being admitted as a Fellow of the Fundraising Institute of Australia.
