Charity Consultant
Strategy Action Impact
Helping charity leaders get clear on what needs to happen next.
In small and medium-sized charities, too much often rests with too few people. I work with CEOs to reduce overload, sharpen priorities, and move things forward in a way that feels clearer, steadier and more sustainable.
That might mean strategy, governance, organisational structure, or practical help with digital tools and AI.
You might recognise this:
Too much sits with you
Things have grown quickly, but the structure hasn't kept up
Systems are stretched and reporting feels heavy
You know something needs to change, you're just not sure where to start
Everyone's talking about AI, and you haven't yet worked out how to think about it, or use it responsibly
A few ways I can help
Focused support to help charity leaders get clear and move things forward.
Strategy to Delivery Plan
For when you need more than a reset, a strategy your team and board can work from.
You'll leave with:
- a clearer direction
- a practical roadmap
- defined priorities, ownership and milestones
Ad Hoc Strategic Support
Experienced support for specific pieces of work that need clearer structure.
This can include:
- salary benchmarking
- LGBT+ inclusion strategy
- governance, reporting and risk
Digital Tools and AI
Practical, responsible help to start using digital tools and AI well.
This can include:
- identifying where they'd genuinely help
- training
- responsible approaches to data use and risk
I can also help with:
- delivery planning
- policy review
- board and trustee papers
- roles and accountability
- systems that haven't kept up with growth
About
I've worked in and alongside charities where teams are stretched, reporting is heavy, and leaders are trying to hold the bigger picture together while dealing with what's right in front of them.
I'm an ex-charity Chief Executive, so I know this work from the inside, how lonely it can be, how much leaders carry, and how hard it is to make good decisions when everything feels urgent.
I work collaboratively and inclusively. I don't use jargon, and I'm not interested in making things sound more complicated than they are. I care about helping people feel clearer, steadier and less overwhelmed.
Fairness, inclusion and social justice have always mattered to me, including speaking at Brighton TEDx on why the fight for LGBT+ young people is far from over.
If you're looking for someone who will listen properly, name things plainly, and help you work out what needs to happen next, that's what I do.
Tell me what's going on
You don't need to have it all worked out before you get in touch.
If things feel messy, heavy or unclear, send me an email. If I can help, I will. If I'm not the right fit, I'll always point you towards someone who is.
