Welcome

As an independent fundraising consultant since 2008, my focus is helping charities and social enterprises plan for the future – and secure the funding needed to make that future happen.

I am an accredited member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising.

I gained a solid foundation at the coal face of arts and heritage fundraising, as Development Director for the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford and the Dartington Hall Trust in Devon. Subsequent work with visionary charities, on inspiring projects across Yorkshire and the Northwest, has broadened and deepened this experience. I offer energy, ideas and commitment – as well as practical, hands-on support where that is needed.

If you would welcome flexible support with your own fundraising challenges please do get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.
