Hello, thanks for visiting
The most valuable non-profit assets today aren’t counted on a balance sheet — they’re found in our people, partnerships and purpose.
In an era of unprecedented financial and societal pressures, it’s more vital than ever that non-profits can fully leverage that untapped or poorly-understood, non-financial value.
I help non-profits of all kinds find and unlock the meaning in their hidden value, and create fresh, tangible value for them, from that meaning.
“I’ve been everywhere, man.”
I work as a strategist, analyst, partnerships builder and operational lead, spanning policy, communications, business growth, workforce development, infrastructure, membership services, community development and charity governance.
This breadth of disciplines - honed at local and national levels, and at both the front line and ‘second tier’ of the UK voluntary sector - gives me a distinctive take on how charities function.
It's this that helps me help to my clients unearth new value from their intangible assets - often their people and stakeholders, their volunteering programmes or their brand and reputation.

+ My work in Volunteering
Much of my work focuses on reimagining volunteering programmes and campaigns, creating practical solutions to some of volunteering’s biggest barriers, both locally and nationally.
I’ve worked on the legacy programme from London 2012, run the National Programmes portfolio at Volunteering Matters and led data and insights in central government’s volunteering unit during Covid-19.
As a freelancer I’ve played key roles developing England’s national Vision for Volunteering, delivering both The Big Help Out campaigns, designed volunteering solutions for statutory health and care systems and launched the Digital In Volunteering initiative with sector partners.
+All in, every time
“The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself.”
I don’t deliver off-the-shelf consultancy. I bring all of myself — experience, insight and commitment — to every project. My work is always bespoke, shaped around each client’s culture, challenges and aspirations. When I take something on, I’m all in.
