Income generation expert experienced in working with charities and cultural organisations to create a solid, practical plan to raise funds from diverse sources. I am skilled at collaborating to facilitate strategy development that is aligned, owned and embedded.
I was previously part of the executive team at Into Film - the UK's leading film charity brokering, negotiating and managing relationships with major funders and stakeholders and I was successful in raising significant funds from corporate partners through sponsorship and project alignment including from Universal, Sony, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Amazon Studios, SWATCH and Unilever. I raised over £650,000 in earned income, attracted over half a million pounds in sponsorship and secured £330,000 in corporate partnership funding. Whilst at Into Film, I chaired the equity, equality, diversity and inclusion working group and partnered with Diversity Pride to facilitate a review of our internal and external communications, policies and recruitment practices. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and trustee of Home-Start Stroud and Gloucester and Flatpack Projects in Birmingham.
