Sophie was a true inspiration to work with - handling significant media activity with ease and coordinating the charity's approach to media relations, marketing and fundraising. During the period we worked together, Sophie led the team through some high profile campaigns and a major internal restructure. She did this with grace and a stress-free attitude. Sophie's magnetic personality means that those she works with are naturally motivated to work hard and achieve more!

To Whom It May Concern I recommend Sophie very highly as a skilled and experienced professional in all aspects of communications, fundraising, client management, marketing and concept development. As a Fundraising and Communications consultant, Sophie undertook a range of short term projects with my not-for-profit agency as we were preparing to engage effectively and decisively with the philanthropic and corporate sector. Our agency was very lucky to be able to utilise Sophie's knowledge and expertise, developed in her time as a senior communications manager in the UK. Among the work that the Centre for Multicultural Youth commissioned Sophie to undertake included: a detailed and costed Fundraising Plan, relationship development with high profile corporate and philanthropic stakeholders and a short research project focusing on our brand and name that involved a rigorous process of sampling, data collection, analysis and presentation to the Board. Through efforts, our organisation developed relationships with a number of corporate clients that resulted in funding opportunties for the organisation. To sum up, we were very lucky to have been associated with Sophie and I am extremely pleased to be able to recommend her and believe that she could undertake any task in the field of Fundraising and Communications that you may require. Yours sincerely Dr. Steve Francis Manager Movement Relations & Advocacy Australian Red Cross
