I understand first-hand the challenge of building a comprehensive strategy and campaigns that work. I also understand something else: You would prefer to be focused on the needs of your community than bogged down in policy. Let's get to work making that happen. Real people, real-world change.
Campaign management
What good is a beautiful strategy if delivery is poor? I'll help you to run your campaign to achieve community engagement and impact.
This may involve coordinating teams of staff, volunteers, and partners. As an experienced project-manager I'll make sure things run smoothly and provide detailed reporting.
Effective governance
Working with your senior leadership and board I'll help you to develop practical policies and procedures that will help you achieve your vision.
Campaigns can expose staff and volunteers to risk. Make sure you understand your duty of care and build effective policies to manage risk.
Answering your questions
What sectors do you help?
I have relevant experience in patient-led advocacy, environmental campaigns, and youth development. Most of the lessons I've learned in these fields are transferable to other sectors, but these causes are my passion.
What about the cost?
I know that tight budgets are a reality and that hiring a consultant might seem like a big expense. There are several ways to manage this, but the key things is to factor my costs into your overall project budget. When seeking money for a project from funders, be sure to include costs for external expertise. I can provide clear project proposals for that purpose, and additional expertise can also help ensure the project is successful - making it more attractive to funders in the first place.
What size organisations do you work with?
Most of the organisations I work with have 10-30 paid employees, and many have larger numbers of volunteers. I can work outside of that, of course - but talk to me first about whether I'm going to be able to add real value to your work.
How do you report on impact?
This is something that is agreed upon in the project design, which we do together. It may involve measuring engagement, or looking at specific outcomes for the people involved. Regardless of the specific metric, a detailed project report is provided to every client.
