I am a freelance consultant supporting charities and not-for-profits in the heritage/community sector. Specialising in heritage, environmental and community projects, I provide a tailored, individual approach that is designed to meet your unique needs - whether that is to bring new skills to the team, provide a new perspective or simply to increase capacity. Most of my work is close to home in Northumberland and the north east but I am available to support heritage organisations across the UK, providing help at all stages of project or strategic development, implementation and review. Previous contracts range from just proofreading to developing full activity plans or evaluative reports. I have an excellent track record in heritage fundraising, in particular working with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. My smallest successful grant application is a few £100 and my largest is several £million. Services include: * Leading project development * Strategic planning * Theory of Change * Funding plans * Bid writing/development (charitable trusts and foundations) * Project budgets, cashflow and income/expenditure forecasts * Workshop facilitation * Training or mentoring * Acting as a critical friend * Evaluation framework * Evaluation reports Please get in touch to discuss how I can support your project.
