About me
Originally an architect, I've worked in Christian charities since 2006.
I did my Gap Year with Tear Fund in Nepal, but since then have been working in UK charities, in all sorts of capacities, including giving adviser, grants, individual giving, and appeals.
I've been fortunate enough to work in or alongside many organisations, including Bible Society, Care for the Family, Diocese of Bristol, and Wycliffe Bible Translators to name just a few!
Being a consultant means that no two days are alike: In the last year I have been a public speaker, run workshops, helped a charity claim thousands in extra gift aid, written appeals, produced videos, written successful grant applications and even provided work experience for a would-be fundraiser!
