“I commissioned Claire to deliver a piece of work for Age UK Sutton, an independent local small charity, in 2021. We needed expert advice to scope the potential of community fundraising for our charity, and to develop resources and a delivery plan for a fundraising campaign.Claire was a pleasure to work with, and delivered some great ideas and content that we used to engage with the public and community partners. The campaign didn't go quite as planned due to another Covid lockdown, but the learning we got out of working with Claire had a lasting legacy and impact for the charity, which was well worth the investment we made.Claire is pragmatic, creative, and straightforward - all characteristics that are hugely valuable in a freelancer. Her experience working in smaller charities meant she really understood our working context, and her clear passion for her craft was inspiring. Equally important, she delivered what she said she would, on time and in budget.”

“Claire joined us for a few months to help out with a gap in our team capacity - I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a highly experienced fundraiser. Equally important for an interim is a great listener - quickly assimilating and understanding the brief, and turning it into clear, solid actions. Great communicator - both with the wider team and supporters. Claire is clear about what she needs to be successful and delivers great results because of it. She delivered great results for us, and I'd love to work with her again!”

“Claire was recommended to me when I needed the help of a professional fundraiser to carry out a department audit, make recommendations for improvements and then provide ongoing freelance support. Claire is very professional in her approach and very knowledgeable about her industry. She was able to come in to the organisation and meet people from all departments and understand our current practices - she made recommendations for how we could improve and was able to support us in achieving these. Working with Claire as a fundraising consultant was incredibly useful and it was very reassuring knowing I could call or email her when I needed advice or guidance on fundraising best practice or regulations.”
