Services

Whether you don’t know where to start with fundraising or are an established professional, I can offer expert fundraising advice and practical support to help you maximise your charitable income so you can have even more of an impact.

You may need additional fundraising capacity or require advice on how to position yourself to be attractive to funders. You may need expertise on how to develop new funding streams.  Perhaps you need a review of your current fundraising practices and a fresh perspective on your strategy.

I can help your charity with practical and strategic consultancy, so your team has the knowledge and confidence to better navigate the fundraising landscape and grow your philanthropy. 

I work with charities of all sizes, including those that are recently registered as well as established organisations, throughout the UK.

My daily rate varies depending on the work undertaken and size of charity.

In the first instance, I offer a free consultation so we can discuss your needs. Please drop me a line.
