DRIVE charity impact and income in the digital age

  • Shrinking income, rising costs and growing demand on services

  • Unclear impact measures, struggling to use reliable data and user-insights to inform decision making

Do Any of these sound familiar?

  • Teams are stretched, working in silos and spend most of their time in meetings 

  • Everything seems urgent rather than strategic and prioritising feels impossible in this reactive mode

You’re not alone.

Our sector is struggling. Charities need to adapt to thrive.

I develop and deliver strategies for Charities to drive income and impact.

I help charities diagnose and fix their biggest challenges, whether it's boosting income, cutting costs, improving team collaboration, or setting clear, achievable goals. I co-create these tailored solutions rather than picking from an existing toolbox. Each charity's context is unique, I make sure we agree on my diagnosis before suggesting a remedy. This approached means we are aligned and there’s that trust and buy-in from the start. My focus is on practical solutions, I ensure you have the right skills, effective processes, and a clear, prioritised roadmap to become resilient and impactful in the digital age.

  • I ensure you diversify income streams, find cost-saving opportunities, and use insights and best practices to boost your fundraising and engagement.

  • I help you set clear goals and metrics, implement systems to track performance and impact, and foster a culture of measurement and accountability.

  • I identify team challenges, create custom processes to improve collaboration, reduce unnecessary meetings, and ensure you have the right people with the right skills.

  • I provide you with a clear, prioritised roadmap, aligned with your organisational strategic goals, with well defined actions to start benefitting from immediately.

You may not need all of these. You can pick and choose.
