Hands on, day-to-day fundraising activities
With experience of all income streams, I can bring calm, clarity, and professional competence to your daily fundraising activities to get things done and generate income.
Prospect Research – I can identify and research funding opportunities, mapping out who to apply to, how much to request, and likelihood of success

Individual Giving – reviewing your current donor-base and supporters, I can create actionable steps to increase giving, find new donors, identify and approach major donors, harness crowdfunding and Gift Aid, develop events, and create a legacy campaign, where applicable
Corporate Giving – I can develop a plan and approach for corporates connected to your cause or local area, whether it be preparing you to manage a Charity of The Year partnership, or carry out sponsorship for events or match giving
Community Fundraising – I can help you develop grassroots fundraising where it harnesses your supporters and local passions effectively as an income generator
Earned Income – I can help you think through earned income opportunities for your organisation and whether it is a viable opportunity or risky endeavour
Fundraising Staff – I can coach, recruit, train or mentor fundraising staff or leaders to grow in confidence and skills, meaning my work doesn’t have to be long-term.
