Lucy Waring

Senior Engagement and Relationships Officer (North)

After a decade as a professional opera singer, I transitioned in 2022 to a career working within the charity sector. Most recently, I’ve worked in higher education fundraising, where I’ve successfully managed donor portfolios, secured major gifts, led appeals, and supported events and strategic initiatives.

Originally from Derbyshire, I am passionate about Lifelites’ mission and eager to apply my skills and experience to make a meaningful difference for those in need.

Childhood memory: Snow days in the Peak District were some of my favourite days when I was younger. My brother and I would spend the entire day sledging until our cheeks turned red and our fingers wrinkled from the cold. Our Mum had to practically drag us inside to sit by the fire and warm up.

If you are based in the Midlands, the north of England, north Wales or Scotland and would like to support children and families across your region, please contact me on lwaring@lifelites.org
