You get specialist fundraising expertise, flexibility, and a fresh outside perspective without the cost of hiring a member of staff or paying high agency fees.

I work with small to medium-sized charities (so with a turnover of up to approximately £500,000)

My charges are calculated on a case by case basis and depend on the complexity and focus of the work. My day rates typically start at £200.

Success looks different for every charity, so I work with you to define clear, realistic measures from the outset – whether that’s increased income, stronger donor relationships, a more confident team, or a clear strategic plan. I focus on practical, achievable outcomes rather than vague promises and will always be honest with you about what’s realistic.

I regularly engage with sector bodies, training and updates from the Fundraising Regulator, the Charity Commission and HMRC, so my advice always reflects the latest best practice.

It can mean anything from clarifying your vision and mission, to reviewing how your organisation is structured and run to helping you plan and implement change. I tailor the support to whatever’s most pressing for your charity right now.

Yes. Planning is only useful if it leads to action. I focus on practical steps your team can realistically carry out and will support you through the implementation stage too.

I start by listening to your team and your challenges and reviewing your documents before offering an honest, independent view of what’s working well and what needs attention, along with practical recommendations for moving forward.

Yes. Often the issue isn’t a lack of effort but a lack of clarity on where to focus. I help small teams cut through the noise and prioritise the actions that will make the biggest difference, so your time and energy go further.

I ask the questions that don’t always get asked internally, and help you articulate what you’re really trying to achieve, in language your whole organisation – staff, trustees, and supporters – can get behind.
