Sixty minutes on Zoom to pick my brains! We can talk strategy, funding sources, how to get started or work though a couple of those tricky application questions that you’re grappling with. -

CPD Workshops

Bespoke 1:1 Client Support
I offer two packages. A Basic Retainer and a VIP Retainer (both have a minimum 3-month contract) There is usually a waiting time for this service as I tend to work on a long-term basis with most of my clients. Feel free to add your name to the waiting list, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have spare capacity. Join the waiting list
If you just want to know a bit more about me – you can find out more on my website here!
What I don’t do!
- I don’t work on a percentage or commission basis.
- I don’t do application reviews (although I do help with this if you are in the Mentoring Programme).
- I don’t travel outside of Kirklees to meet clients or deliver training; it just isn’t time or cost efficient. If you are out of my area, Zoom will be our best friend!
Testimonials
What clients say?
IT'S NOT JUST THE FUNDING RAISED THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES
"Infinite knowledge of applying for grants and funding that benefit a wide range of people. You do so with the learned knowledge that the infra structure of communities depends on people being able to engage with one another through an array of contexts and events; and that communities that meet one another regularly develop an understanding of support one another and learn, play, relax and work together."
