New senior appointment strengthens charity’s leadership and supports long-term fundraising and marketing for communities across Greater Manchester

Forever Manchester, the community foundation for Greater Manchester, has strengthened its Senior Management Team with the appointment of Anne-Marie Wynne as Director of Philanthropy Development & Marketing.

Anne-Marie joins Forever Manchester from Moya Cole (previously St Ann’s) Hospice, where she was Head of Fundraising and Capital Campaign. She brings a strong track record in senior fundraising leadership, campaign delivery and building meaningful donor relationships—experience that aligns closely with Forever Manchester’s mission to support community activity in every borough of Greater Manchester.

Nick Massey CBE, Chief Executive of Forever Manchester, said: “With a strong track record in senior fundraising leadership, campaign delivery and building meaningful donor relationships, Anne-Marie brings the experience and values that align perfectly with Forever Manchester’s mission. Her passion for place-based giving, combined with her ability to connect supporters to long-term impact, makes her ideally placed to lead the charity’s philanthropy development and marketing, helping grow support for communities across Greater Manchester.”

Anne-Marie Wynne said: “I love Greater Manchester and the opportunities it gives to the people who live and work here. I believe strongly in the value of communities and people working together to create happiness and support each other within our villages, towns and cities. I am delighted to be playing my part in giving our region a hand up, and look forward to developing relationships across the region that will help to develop our community programmes.”

In her new role, Anne-Marie will lead Forever Manchester’s philanthropy development and marketing, working with supporters and partners to help grow the resources that fund community groups and projects across Greater Manchester.
