I LOVE HELPING YOU ACHIEVE more

I choose to work with organisations whose ambition and values are compelling and whose work I get truly excited about! I have a special love for capital appeals, health related charities, as well as causes facing stigma or silence. With well over two decades of broad fundraising, marketing/communications and charity management/governance experience, I tend to work with mostly small and medium sized charities who find I can support them in ways wider than the initial brief. I deliver practical support to provide additional skills or resource, as well as providing an external perspective or additional expertise through strategic support.

I am based near Bristol, working with charities across the UK. I have a particularly strong background in health causes, including NHS charities, and have also worked within special educational needs and disability, children and young people, medical research, sexual abuse, mental health including eating disorders, environmental, heritage and arts. More about the work I have delivered with various charities can be seen on the Clients page.

YOUR INVESTMENT

I aim to deliver a great value, taking time to immerse myself in your cause and fully understand your needs. The level and breadth of my experience provides high return on investment. We start with a free call where we discuss your brief and explore whether the fit feels right, after which I write a proposal which includes my fees. These are either charged on an hourly or daily rate, or on a fixed fee basis for a distinct piece of work. I do not work on a commission or performance related pay basis. My rate varies depending on the type of work, size of organisation and length of the contract.
