I have worked in the Voluntary Sector since 1996 initially as a Development Worker for a small market town in mid Wales and now work part time as the ‘Funding Strategy Officer’ for the County Voluntary Council in Powys. I have a wealth of experience of supporting groups with their funding and project development, from both a professional and personal experience.

I have a strong research background having worked previously for Cardiff Business School and Aberystwyth University as a Research Associate. I have subsequently undertaken many research projects including studies for the Welsh Assembly Government, Welsh Water and the Ramblers Association.

I have experience of undertaking Feasibility Studies and Development Strategies as well as practical experience of running social enterprises / community organisations. I have a track record of successfully developing funding streams and grant applications and a background in research and community development.

I offer value for money and always work with clients and stakeholders to ensure the desired result are achieved and to offer practical and realistic solutions. Through my work I aim to help organisations develop for their future sustainability.
