With 20 years’ experience working with charities, social enterprises, and community groups, I support organisations from the start-up stage, through funder research, bid development, and impact reporting, helping ideas take shape and achieve real impact.

​

I offer a range of services for charities, social enterprises, and community groups across four core areas:

 

• Project Foundations

  • Supporting you to shape your ideas, clarify your purpose, choose the right structure, and set up your new project or organisation.

• Funder Research

  • Identifying and prioritising the right funders by researching opportunities and matching them to your organisation’s priorities, services and funding needs.

• Bid Development

  • Developing strong, funder-ready applications and tenders by shaping project plans and presenting clear, data-informed evidence of need.

• Impact Reporting

  • Bringing together outcomes, impact data and learning to report clearly on what has been delivered and the difference it has made.

 

I offer support either through an ongoing retainer or via fixed-fee projects:

• Retainer contracts provide ongoing support, combining strategic, advisory, and practical work. Tasks are planned around an agreed monthly allocation, with priorities set in advance to ensure a sustainable pace.

• Fixed-fee projects cover clearly defined pieces of work, usually practical tasks such as research, writing, or reporting, delivered within an agreed scope.

 

Fees are agreed individually and reflect your organisation’s income, size, priorities, and the nature of the work required.
