Michelle Jeffcott

Head of Income Generation

I bring over 20 years of experience in income generation, corporate partnerships, and fundraising to my role at Walking Scotland. With a proven track record across both the charity and commercial sectors, I lead our strategic fundraising efforts. This includes securing vital support to help make walking and wheeling part of everyday life in Scotland.

I’m a passionate relationship-builder and natural networker. I’m known for my entrepreneurial approach and commitment to creating meaningful partnerships. My career has included senior roles at The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support, and the RAF Benevolent Fund.

I’m a strong advocate for walking. It brings a wide rang of benefits to health, wellbeing, and community connection. Outside of work, I enjoy long dog walks, travelling, spending time with my family, and exploring Scotland’s outdoors on foot or by bike.

Michelle joined Walking Scotland in November 2024.
