·      Cost effective – The cost of my services is recovered many time over in the grant or income generation. I will save you time hunting for grant opportunities, and I’m familiar with most of the large grant programmes

·      Specialist knowledge – I have built up considerable knowledge in all aspects of fundraising from grants to donations through to legacies and social enterprise.

·      Added value – I share ideas and solutions to problems I identify and can link you with other organisations or initiatives

·      Fresh perspective – I bring an external view on your work; often able to see strengths in your work which although every day to you, maybe new and exciting for a prospective funder
