Am I right for you?
I might be right for you if you’re looking for someone who:
- Understands the challenges and joys of working in small organisations. I have 20 years experience in a variety of small not-for-profits, covering employee, volunteer and trustee roles, so I know the sector from all sides.
- Can provide targeted support, helping you to solve a particular problem or get something new off the ground.
- Will listen to your problems and the story of your organisation.
- Will put your audiences first. Because understanding who you want to talk to and how best to do that sits at the heart of effective charity communication.
- Will explain why they’re making recommendations.
