Hello, I’m Analiese

Fundraising consultant, mentor and trainer

I’ve spent nearly 20 years working in the charity sector, from Fundraising Assistant through to Director of Fundraising and Marketing.

Along the way, I’ve managed teams, developed fundraising strategies, navigated organisational change, dealt with difficult conversations and learned a great deal about what it takes to lead people. I became a Head of Fundraising at 25, managing a team of five, and I had a lot to learn.

I’ve worked with organisations including Buttle UK, Pregnant Then Screwed, where I grew revenue by 111%, and Rockinghorse Children’s Charity. Now I support charities through my fundraising consultancy.

Beyond client work

  • Mentor with The Elischer Foundation and FemMEntored.

  • Trustee at Lotus Families.

  • Creator of the Confident Fundraising Leadership programme, piloted in autumn 2026.

  • Speaker and trainer for Fundraising Everywhere, the Family Arts Leadership Symposium, Focus Foundation and others.

How I work

I love working with people who care deeply about what they do. My approach is practical, supportive and grounded in real experience. I don’t pretend leadership is easy or that there’s one right way to do it.

I’ll tell you what I see, I’ll be realistic about your capacity, and I’ll focus on what will make the biggest difference. And I hope we’ll have a bit of a laugh along the way too.
