Help your charity grow, without living grant to grant.

Charities we’ve worked with have turned a £20k investment into £60k of measurable social value, and launched trading arms that brought in six figures.

Pain relief for hard-working charities

You need a business voice in the room.

Funding is harder won and shorter lived than it used to be, and planning your future around the next grant is exhausting.

There’s a steadier way. We’ll help you build commercial income that fits your mission, and the systems to run it, so more of your future is in your own hands.

The same business thinking we’d bring to any company, pointed at the work you care about. We build it with your people, so they own it and it lasts beyond us.

The problem I'll solve.

Right now, you feel stuck

It’s because there’s not enough, or there’s just too much. That’s why you’re here. 

And when you’re stuck, you don’t need someone to hand you a map and wish you luck. You need someone who knows the way out. I work with you to get to a better place, so you never end up back where you are now again.

How I help

I find what's really wrong.

The tough questions, and the honest answers your staff won’t give you to your face. I look everywhere.

I'll tell you straight.

What you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Kindness is the truth, not cheerleading. Sometimes it will feel like a hug. Often it’s an honest kick.

We succeed together.

I am there every step of the way, and you come out able to do it yourself. 

"I deeply believe in showing the real, unvarnished truth, the reason you feel the way you do now, the thing no one, not even you, will say. I will show you what you haven't thought of and work with you to solve the problems that keep you from achieving your goals. If you want someone to nod along, that's not me."

How I help

Commercialisation: Build income beyond the next grant.

Passion keeps a charity going, but it does not keep the lights on. With funding tighter and competition harder, you need income you can rely on.

We bring a business eye to the third sector and help you build new income streams that fit your mission rather than pull against it. Not profit instead of purpose, a stronger engine to power the purpose for years to come.

We start with what you already have that is worth building on, then build the plan and the systems to run it.

Strategic Planning: A plan you run, not one that sits on a shelf.

Most charities run flat out on the urgent and never get the time to plan. Without a clear map it is hard to grow, hard to bring people with you, and hard to make the most of what you have.

We build the plan with you, not for you. Leadership, staff and volunteers in the room together, so the strategy is genuinely theirs, ambitious but practical, and actually gets delivered.

You come out with a direction everyone shares and the confidence to make decisions against it.

Team Building: A team that wants to stay.

Your people are the mission. But third-sector work burns people out, and losing good ones is costly in every sense.

We help you build a culture that holds onto them. We map how the team really works, find the friction, and put simple things in place for feedback, recognition and growth.

The result is steadier days, better work, and a stronger organisation underneath it all.
