Our impact
We believe that every organisation doing important work deserves the tools and systems to deliver their mission effectively. By helping charities and educational institutions build stronger operational foundations, we enable them to create greater social impact and lasting positive change in their communities.
Every year, we dedicate a week to pro bono projects, supporting charities with annual incomes under £100,000. We believe every organisation deserves access to high-quality support, regardless of their budget. That’s why we also offer flexible pricing based on organisation size and project complexity.

Our clients say
“The only way to describe Paula’s impact is that it has been quite simply transformative. Her depth of insight into the needs of a fast-paced fundraising office means that she not only knows the solutions to the trickiest challenges but usually anticipates the questions before we have even thought of them.”
“There is no way we had the expertise or time in-house to do this as a small charity. Being able to access Paula’s skills and experience at such an accessible, justifiable rate has been invaluable.”
"Her assessment of our strengths and challenges was spot on and her clear and detailed plan of action very helpful in guiding us towards some easy wins, as well as tackling the more difficult tasks in a way that we as a start-up charity can manage.
We feel less daunted by the challenge of fundraising and have much better insight into our own capabilities and how we should target grant proposals."
