Chairman & Director

• Nov 2016 - Present

Creating innovative and successful fundraising programmes that transform donations into gifts. A Gift is so much more than a donation – it’s a carefully considered act of generosity. When something is gifted by you, the recipient knows that there is particular sentiment attached to the present. Your gift might be wrapped and infused with personal values or feelings, often timed to celebrate a special moment. Whatever the circumstances, when you make a gift you are imparting something of yourself, not simply responding to an impersonal appeal by way of a donation. Our team recognises that you know your organisation, your people and your future plans, better than anyone. We also understand that bringing the right sort of gifts to make those plans happen can be incredibly challenging when you’re going it alone. We offer the practical, day-to-day professional services needed to design and deliver fundraising programmes that lead to meaningful gifts, not just donations. If you’re considering how best to put together the funding for your transformational project or you want to introduce a ‘step-change’ strategy, then we’d welcome a conversation about how to create a fundraising partnership, that is exceptional, and just right for you.
