my background
I work with non-profit organisations (charities, CICs and community orgs) to make your work easier to manage and fund. I've been in the sector my whole career, starting when Linkin Park were first topping the charts.
I've been a venue manager, production coordinator, youth leader, University lecturer, and worked in programming, marketing, fundraising…
​​
I'm a weird mix of a list-loving wannabe accountant and a creative, idea-a-minute people-person.
I spent a decade setting up and developing new organisations: CICs, charities, and community groups. I made all the classic start-up mistakes but also accomplished some pretty amazing things.
​
I know what it’s like to juggle everything: meeting with an important funder one minute and unblocking the toilets the next.
In my last role, I grew the team from a couple of people working out of a cupboard into an organisation with a national rep, multiple repeat funders and proper office chairs.
I then shifted into consultancy – focusing on organisational development, business planning, and fundraising for small, world-changing organisations.
how I work
​​I have worked with lots of charities, creative organisations and companies with a cause around the UK.
Some are bigger organisations, including The Lowry, British Library, Gene People, Night Time Economy Solutions, New Adventures, Wise Children, Gloucester Culture Trust, Newmilns Ski Slope, Greenwich and Docklands International Festival and University of Chichester.
But most of the organisations I love to work with are run by one person, accomplishing amazing things through sheer determination to change the world.

To get a taster of working with me, you can join Sticky-note Squad: your monthly dose of free support by email. It includes lots of resources and I'll share real examples from organisations I have worked with, what we did and why.
