FUNDRAISING CONSULTANT FOR UK CHARITIES
Practical fundraising support, grounded in real experience
I’m Analiese. I’ve spent nearly 20 years in the charity sector, from Fundraising Assistant to Director of Fundraising and Communications. Now I work alongside small and medium-sized charities to find a clearer direction, strengthen their fundraising and build the confidence to move forward.

How I can help
Five areas, from focused projects to longer-term partnerships
Maybe your strategy no longer reflects where your organisation is heading. Maybe your team is stretched, or you’re navigating a period of change. I’ve managed teams, been accountable for income and worked with trustees, and I know what it takes to move forward.
Fundraising Strategy & Planning
A fundraising plan that works for your organisation, not just on paper.
Whether you’re looking to grow income, reduce reliance on existing funding or simply work out where to focus, I’ll help you develop a realistic fundraising strategy that reflects your ambitions, resources and capacity.
Interim Fundraising Support
Experienced support to keep fundraising moving.
When you’re recruiting, restructuring or need additional capacity, I can work alongside your team to provide leadership, maintain important relationships and progress your fundraising priorities.
Mentoring
A space to think, reflect and grow as a fundraising leader.
Leading fundraising can be a lonely job. I offer one-to-one mentoring for new and experienced fundraising leaders who want an honest, supportive space to work through challenges and develop their confidence.
Training & Development
Building the skills and confidence to lead fundraising well.
From my Confident Fundraising Leadership programme to tailored trustee and board training, I deliver practical sessions that help people understand their role, build their confidence and contribute more effectively to fundraising.
Speaking Engagements & Podcasts
Honest conversations about fundraising, leadership and what actually works.
I speak at conferences, webinars and events, and contribute to podcasts and panel discussions, sharing practical insights and lessons from nearly two decades working in the charity sector.

Why work with me
I’ve sat in the seat, recently
I became a Head of Fundraising at 25, managing a team of five. I knew how to fundraise, but I had a lot to learn about leadership. Since then I’ve managed teams, been accountable for income, worked with trustees and made plenty of difficult decisions.
I don’t believe the answer is always another income stream or asking your team to do more. Sometimes the most valuable outcome is knowing what to stop, where to invest and how to use what you already have.
I mainly work with charities with income between £250k and £5M, where teams are lean and roles are stretched.
Organisations I’ve worked with
Buttle UK · Pregnant Then Screwed · Rockinghorse Children’s Charity · Family Fund · Young Epilepsy · Royal Surrey Charity · The Lucy Rayner Foundation · La Nuova Musica · Thriving Through Recreation · Fair Collective · The Elischer Foundation · FemMEntored · Lotus Families
Better together
Fundraising, communications and digital, joined up
Some projects need more than fundraising expertise. I work with a trusted network of communications and digital specialists, bringing in the right people when a project needs a broader range of skills, without losing the personal approach of a small consultancy.
In practice: at Family Fund, fundraising strategy, communications and SEO expertise came together to strengthen the fundraising sections of its website for major donors, trusts and foundations.
Not sure what support you need?
That’s completely fine
Sometimes the first step is a conversation about what’s happening in your organisation, what you’re trying to achieve and where an outside perspective might help.
-
Mainly small and medium-sized charities, typically with annual income between £250k and £5M, where teams are lean and roles are often stretched. I’ve also supported organisations larger and smaller. If you’re values-led, open to collaboration and building something sustainable, I’m always happy to have a chat.
-
Both. I work across fixed-term projects, short strategic sprints and monthly retainers, depending on what’s most useful at that point. We always agree scope, focus and outcomes upfront.
-
My capacity varies month to month. Best to drop me a line. If I’m not available, I’ll happily refer you to someone trusted in my network.
