Running A Charity...?
Hard isn't it?
I ran a small learning disability charity for nearly 14 years. It was a brilliant opportunity to do something amazing and I learnt so much... Probably because as a small charity CEO, you need to simultaneously fix the copier, write several winning funding applications and balance the competing needs of your beneficiaries, staff team and trustees ...
Oh yes...and you need to do this all on a budget of five pence and 3 broken biscuits!
I've spent my entire career working in the third sector. I have a MSc in Voluntary Sector Management and despite hanging up my CEO boots in 2023, I still love working with charities. Find out how I can help below:
An extra bit of support when you need it
Funding....
Do you need an extra pair of hands to help with trust fundraising?
Maybe you're trying to work out how to use AI, find new funders or develop a new funding strategy?
Support for your Runners
Have you got charity runners who need some support?
You want them to enjoy the experience, but you also want them to raise as much possible too!
As a qualified run coach and experienced marathon fundraiser, this is the ultimate match for my skill set!
CEO Coaching
& Board Facilitation
Unless your Chair understands the challenges AND has the time to give you the support you need, running a charity can be a fast-track to burnout.
It's difficult to see the wood for the trees when you're in the middle of a dark forest.
A coach who has first-hand experience can make all the difference...(and you don't have run any marathons)!
