Social impact organisations today are navigating unprecedented levels of complexity with limited funding, time, and capacity. It is easy for teams to become stuck in "constant reaction mode" while priorities compete and vital projects stall.
I help you cut through that noise to create clarity, alignment, and momentum. By bridging the gap between strategy and implementation, I work alongside mission-driven organisations to transform ambitious ideas into practical, sustainable action.
I specialise in helping organisations navigate periods of growth, change, and uncertainty. Whether you need an independent partner to lead a complex project or senior-level capacity to strengthen your operations, I focus on what matters most to get things done.
My areas of expertise include:
Insight and Evaluation: Synthesising complex information to measure and drive impact.
Collaborative Impact: Facilitation, mentoring, and building cross-sector partnerships.
Operational Excellence: Governance, systems strengthening, and programme development.
Strategic Growth: Organisational development and income growth/fundraising.
Over the last 15 years I’ve worked with grassroots organisations, charities, statutory bodies, social enterprise, and purpose-led founders. I understand the realities of delivering urgent work in under-resourced environments.
I am currently Co-Director of Trauma Foundation South West. Previously I headed up operations at The Bike Project, an award-winning refugee charity and social enterprise that grew to a £2M turnover.
I have led many projects including: a community-driven vision for Elephant and Castle in London; increased arts access for Latin American communities with South London Gallery; a future strategy for the London Destitution Forum; and co-designed local maternity care with the NHS.
I have volunteered across migration and refugee support organisations, including Hackney Migrant Centre and the London Welcome Project, and co-led Bikes Beyond Borders - a critical mass bike ride to Calais that delivered over 100 bikes to the camp in 2015.
Since relocating to Cornwall, I supported the resettlement of a refugee family with Penwith Welcomes Refugees, and volunteer with Cornwall Refugee Resource Network.
I am a Clore Social Fellow and hold a Politics and International Studies degree from the University of Warwick. I am a PRINCE2 Project Management Practitioner, with additional qualifications in management, leadership and counselling.
I understand the systemic challenges faced by organisations working towards social justice, and how difficult it can be to build the foundations needed for meaningful, sustained progress.
My approach is responsive to your needs, centring the expertise of those closest to the issues you are working on. I work alongside organisations to bring clarity, structure and momentum to complex work.
Radical collaboration: Working together to find creative solutions and challenge assumptions.
Courage: Tackling inequities head-on and centring justice and inclusion in all work.
Community-led: Ensuring those most affected by issues hold power and shape the work.
Human-centred: Combining transparency and efficiency with empathy and connection.
Free scoping: I offer a free 30 minute consultation to all clients.
Flexibility: Choose from project-based, day rates or retainer agreements.
Pro-bono: Contact me for current availability.
If you’re rethinking how social impact work gets done - more collaboratively, more radically, more human - I’d love to hear from you.
