With over £50M personally raised across all funding streams and 30 years' experience growing organisations from the ground up, I know how to write and implement a successful funding and income generation strategy. I started my career delivering frontline services at the YMCA, giving me a deep understanding of how projects actually work in practice - essential for creating strong funding proposals.

I can help with:

• Fundraising audits and reviews - understanding what's working, what isn't and creating practical plans for improvement
• Creating and implementing fundraising strategies that work in reality
• Writing compelling trust and foundation applications
• Statutory funding and tender writing
• Corporate partnerships and sponsorship proposals
• Trading income development and social investment
• Setting up individual giving programmes
• Managing capital campaigns
• Getting fundraising ready – developing the right systems, processes and evidence

I work flexibly – I can write applications directly, support your team to develop their skills or combine both approaches.
