Julie Hocking
Individual Giving Manager
Julie joined our charity in 2016. She looks after our donors.
Jules started her career in theatre sales, where she worked her way up to managing corporate sponsor relationships. Jules soon decided her skills could be put to better use in the charity sector. She joined the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and later Macmillan Cancer Support. Over the years, she’s worked on events, membership schemes, legacy fundraising, and philanthropy.
When Jules joined Visably, individual giving was a new fundraising venture for the charity. At first, her role was mostly taking donations and thanking our lovely supporters. Now, she works on building systems, creating campaigns, and making sure every donor has an amazing experience with Visably.
Jules’ favourite part of the job is talking to the people Visably has helped and showing donors the difference they make in people’s lives.
Outside of work, Jules enjoys windy beach walks in Suffolk. She also enjoys a spot of cooking and gardening.
