I thrive on analysing situations and looking for constructive solutions.I am here to bring my breadth of experience and skills to help you address the problems you face as your:

Business & Fundraising Consultant

For more than 20 years I have had a successful full-time career in Senior Management and Fundraising & Marketing for a number of major UK Charities.More recently I have worked on a self-employed basis allowing me to lend short and longer term support to my clients.  

I have particular skills in dealing in very challenging issues like those facing People with Disability and their Carers and the difficulties and prejudice met by individuals and families coping with Mental Ill Health.

You will see from the CV that I have successful direct experience at the sharp end of fundraising.My ‘hands on’ track record covers all aspects of a modern fundraisers’ portfolio – from developing direct mail programmes, devising and running events, introducing trading catalogues, Trusts and Foundation applications, Face to Face programmes and major Capital Appeals.

Copywriting & Design Advisor

I believe I am very strong in writing copy that relates the problems individuals are facing in humane and moving language, conveying the urgency and depth of the needs that supporters can actively help to meet.

Examples of previous projects:

Winged Fellowship Trust (WFT). 6-month contract – 2003/4

Winged Fellowship Trust (WFT).11-month contract – 2004/5

I currently act as a marketing consultant for a small chain of Hair Design Salons.  We are developing and implementing schemes for ‘New Client Acquisition’. The plans so far have generated an approximate £42,000 p.a. of new business.
