Since becoming a consultant in 2011, I have worked with organisations as varied as Shepherds Bush Homeless Families Project, the Association of Charitable Foundations and the Lullaby Trust. Examples of my work include:
- an independent review of the Sheila McKechnie Foundation’s organisational structures, processes and governance led to changes that have made the organisation more resilient;
- research for the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, which examined the impact of austerity on the causes and organisations they support and directly informed their strategy for 2015-2019; I have since undertaken similar analyses for other Foundations, including Rosa and the John Ellerman Foundation;
- in depth governance reviews for organisations such as the Lullaby Trust and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (with Rosie Chapman), as well as one-off training and facilitation for AbleChild Africa, the Choir With No Name, the Royal Institution of British Architects and others;
- developing good practice standards for voluntary organisations, for example contributing to the forthcoming 4th Edition of PQASSO and leading a pan-European project that produced an EU Code of Conduct on Managing Volunteers in Social Care for ppre.
