I’ll work with you to step back from the day-to-day, make sense of what’s really driving (or blocking) your income, and agree where to focus your time and energy next. Together we’ll develop a practical fundraising plan that reflects your capacity, ambitions and context, and gives you confidence in the decisions you’re making.

This isn’t about producing a document that gathers dust. It’s about creating shared clarity, prioritising what will make the biggest difference, and setting you up with a strategy your team and board can actually use over the next 12–18 months and beyond.

Periods of change can be demanding, whether you’re recruiting, restructuring, growing quickly, or simply carrying too much without senior fundraising capacity in place. I can step in to provide clear, thoughtful leadership that keeps income moving, supports your team, and creates space for better decisions.

I have experience leading fundraising and communications teams through uncertainty, growth and change. I’ll be responsible for strategy and delivery, support and develop your staff team, and work closely with senior leadership and trustees to maintain confidence and momentum.

This is about more than holding the fort. It’s about leaving your organisation in a stronger place than when I arrived, with clearer direction, steadier systems, and a team that feels supported.

Stepping into a fundraising leadership role can feel isolating. You’re expected to set direction, manage people, influence up and down the organisation, and keep income growing, often without much space to think things through.

I offer structured mentoring for new or developing Heads or Directors of Fundraising who want a trusted thought partner. Someone who understands the realities of the role, has navigated similar pressures, and can offer perspective, challenge and reassurance in equal measure.

Our sessions create a safe, confidential space to test ideas, build leadership confidence, work through tricky situations, and develop a leadership style that feels authentic and sustainable.

Sometimes what’s needed isn’t a full strategy or long-term cover. It’s time, expertise and momentum on a specific piece of fundraising. I provide short-term, targeted support to help you shape and deliver priority projects without overstretching your team.

That might look like developing a compelling corporate partnership offer, sense-checking a major campaign, reviewing your fundraising approach, or carrying out a practical fundraising health check to identify quick wins and longer-term opportunities.

I work quickly, thoughtfully and in a way that fits your organisation, bringing clarity, structure and momentum, while keeping things realistic and achievable for the people who’ll be taking it forward.
