About

After moving to the South West in 2013, I spent several years continuing to working in the world of Adventure Sports.

Since 2016 I have worked exclusively in the charity sector, including time with a national children’s charity and most recently as the Director of Governance and Compliance for a Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Support charity. I also have experience as a Trustee, and bring a balance of experience from both Board and Operational perspectives.

In myspare time, I enjoys making the most of the beautiful South West and spends time walking, swimming and camping throughout Devon and Cornwall.

Consultancy

Running a charity is no easy task, whether as a Trustee, or CEO. Exeternal consultancy can provide a fresh set of eyes on the challenges and opportunities facing your charity. I can help with most things, but am also honest in recommending when other consultants may be best placed to support you.

Evaluation and recommendations to enhance your charity’s policies, practices and procedures, ensuring compliance and organisational effectiveness. An independant review of your charities governance can help assure you that your charity is meeting it's legal duties, and delivering the best for your benificiaries.
