How I can help
Practical fundraising support, grounded in real experience
There are times when you know something needs to change, but finding the time, capacity or headspace to work out what comes next is another matter.
Perhaps your fundraising strategy no longer reflects where your organisation is heading. Maybe your team is stretched, you’re navigating a period of change, or you’re looking for ways to support the people responsible for delivering your fundraising ambitions.
I’ve spent nearly 20 years working in the charity sector, from Fundraising Assistant to Director of Fundraising and Communications. I’ve managed teams, been accountable for income, worked with trustees and senior leaders, and made plenty of difficult decisions along the way.
Now I work alongside charities to help them find a clearer direction, strengthen their fundraising and build the confidence and capacity to move forward.
My support covers five areas, with options for focused projects and longer-term partnerships depending on what you need.
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.
Not sure what support you need?
That’s completely fine
Sometimes the first step is simply having a conversation about what’s happening in your organisation, what you’re trying to achieve and where an outside perspective might be useful.
Some projects need more than fundraising expertise. I also work with a trusted network of communications and digital specialists, bringing together the right people when a project needs a broader range of skills.
