More about meTestimonials
“Jo is an outstanding fundraiser. She quickly integrated as part of the team, built a solid understanding of our programme and aspirations and consistently delivered results that have enabled us to grow both our restricted and unrestricted income. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
And of course the real difference can be seen in how this additional income has enabled us to extend and sustain our public benefit offer as a charity at a time when competition in Trust and Foundation fundraising is so fierce.
Jo has written fundraising strategies, scoped sources of funds, collaborated with our artistic project leads, influenced Board decision-making with timely insights and championed hitting our income targets with amazing results. Every fundraising target has been met in the 2 years she's been working with us and we've not been short on dreaming big.”
