Bio
Dr Becca Bland
I approached Hekate for support with our sustainability plan at the early stages of our charity's development. Her advice was fundamental in helping us to develop our organisational approach to impact and proving the need for our work. Hekate has comprehensive knowledge of funders and the world of fundraising, and she has been invaluable in helping us to identify suitable partners who have supported our growth. More recently, we have worked with Hekate in developing large funding applications with excellent success rates. I would highly recommend her services around impact, strategic development and fundraising.
Joanne Hemmings
Hekate and I collaborated together on a UK-wide end FGM initiative over several years. I would highly recommend Hekate across a range of areas: campaigning and advocacy, monitoring and evaluation, fundraising, and project management. She is extremely committed to any project she takes on, bringing energy and passion to her work. She is also clear and articulate, and a highly skilled writer.
