Supporting Charities and School Trusts

Why relationships beat strategies (and why we use both)

The best solutions emerge when diverse voices come together in genuine partnership. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based and realistic — designed for the constraints of real teams and budgets.

Read on to find out how I can help your charity or trust turn complex challenges into measurable results.

My services

I'm not your typical consultant. As a former educator and recent charity CEO, I understand the real challenges you face because I've lived them. From organisational turnarounds to rapid scaling, from financial crises to strategic pivots - I've been where you are now.

My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and realistic. I’ll work with you to conduct thorough reviews, facilitate inclusive planning processes, and deliver practical solutions that fit your budget.


Charities

From start-up clarity to turnaround and growth, I help leadership teams deliver sustainable impact. Services include strategic planning, interim leadership, culture and performance, coaching and mentoring.


School Trusts

I help school trusts build sustainable civic engagement, charitable structures, and trust-wide character and values strategies. I will support you with strategic leadership and governance, civic engagement, character and values education.


Let’s build something together.

"Every great transformation starts with a conversation. I believe in understanding your world before proposing solutions, because the best strategies emerge from genuine partnership."

About me

I’ve led from the inside — as a teacher, charity CEO and trust board member — so I know what real-world constraints look like and how to deliver change that sticks.

Hands-on leadership: led organisations with £1.2m–£7m budgets and teams of 15–100.

Proven results: doubled voluntary income and secured £2m+ in major grants.

Sector depth: youth, education, community organising — backed by a PhD in the philosophy of education.
