“I am writing to provide a personal reference for Helen, who began working with me in October 2018, six months after we launched our capital build appeal for a veterans' Orthopedic Centre with a goal to raise £1.5 million. Helen brought with her extensive experience, boundless enthusiasm, and a zest for life that immediately made a positive impact. Within weeks of her arrival, she had implemented a strategic plan and established relationships with key military charities. She successfully built a team of dedicated volunteers to support our efforts and created numerous opportunities for us to spread awareness about our work. In the following months, Helen’s exceptional relationship-building skills, combined with her expertise in bid writing and collaboration with our illustrations team, led to a dialogue with a potential grant funder. This eventually resulted in a generous offer of £6 million, enabling us to develop a more advanced facility for the hospital. Helen’s strengths lie in her ability to forge strong relationships, her energetic and dynamic personality, and her extensive knowledge of the sector. I highly recommend Helen for any role within an income-generating environment. She has demonstrated an exceptional ability to secure funding and is not afraid to ask for the necessary support.”
