Helping organisations build volunteering movements and maximise grant income.

DescriptionI am so grateful for all the support that Laura has given both myself and the Charity I'm the founder of. I have been working with Laura for the past 3 years. When we first started working together, Laura took the time to really understand who we are, and what we do. She has a fantastic approach to bid writing and her vast experience enables her to really identify the finer details needed to create a successful bid. I trust her advice implicitly. She is a colleague and a critical friend rolled into one. She won't take on work for the sake of it, and she won't attempt bids that don't fit into our long-term strategy. The community we serve are intrinsic to the bid writing process and Laura embeds this in all her work. She has met many community members/service users who have been more than happy to share their stories with her. With Laura’s support we have created an amazing foundation on which our charity can grow and flourish.

​​“Laura did an awesome job pulling together a case for support for our project and has brought it to a place where its ready for funding. The work she did scouring the fundraising landscape at an incredibly challenging time gave us a great pipeline to approach.”

Felix Hilton, Cycling UK

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Laura. It's been so helpful, especially at the beginning when the group weren't quite sure what we wanted! The research conducted has given us a baseline understanding we have not had before. I hope we can work together again in the future!

Laura brought her expertise to deliver a great piece of work reviewing volunteer involvement. Thanks to her great final presentation we’ve got buy in needed for colleagues to make the well researched recommendations.

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful research insights and recommendations and the great report on the potential for building volunteering at Dogs Trust. I am now very inspired by what we could do long term and able to act on the quick wins identified too. Thank you again for all the work you've put in on this. You've been a joy to work with.

“At England Netball we work with the best in the business to drive the sport forward. As a Consultant Laura worked with us to create a game changing strategy for our 27 000 volunteers that we’re incredibly proud of. She delivered engaging workshops across our staff and volunteer teams to map volunteering opportunities and future requirements to produce an insight driven strategy”.

Fran Connolly, CEO, England Netball

The final report was well structured with case study introductions followed by excellent analysis. We are thrilled to publish the report which showcases some great findings that will help HE Archive, and other institutions too. Thanks again, Laura. You've been an absolute pleasure to work with and the rich insights and findings you've gathered are so beneficial to our sector. We would not hesitate to work with you again.

Laura has worked with our organisation on a couple of projects and both have been completed to an exceptional standard. During these projects she has planned in line with the brief provided, engaged with people both within and external to the organisation and she has produced some great final work. We found Laura to be well connected and an expert in her field. She has been incredibly easy to work with and has always produced work to agreed timescales. The projects she has worked on have helped move initiatives forward within across the organisation which we would have otherwise struggled to deliver.
