Income is falling drastically for charities and visitor centres, these new times require emergency measure. Many leaders have not experienced such drastic organisational challenges. My experience of rescuing charities and visitor centres in financial distress could be just the help you need now.

In my 25 years transforming organisations I have faced these choices many times & gone on to implement transformative business plans, giving long-term sustainable growth.

What I can do for you:

1. Identify and quickly implement emergency fundraising strategies with no upfront cost

2. Use expert data mining & statistical analysis to find cost reductions and income potential

3. Prepare emergency budgets and reorganisation plans

My background, combining proven success with exceptional business and statistical skills means I can analyse income trends and expenditure, giving you the tools to cut costs and increase income. I can help you interrogate your financial and supporter databases to wheedle out hidden data and present it in a way that can be understood and acted upon by your team. With sound analysis of current & historic trends, the best strategies for growth and the profitability can be acted on.

Many small to medium-sized charities & visitor centres (and quite a few big ones) have little idea of what drives the profitability of their supporter, visitor and fundraising operations. With this knowledge, a system of effective Key Performance Indicators can be put in place to guide your advertising, operations, fundraising and income generation in these incredibly difficult times.

My wide ranging operational experience can help you to drastically cut cost without affecting organisation objectives and get you back to long term growth as quickly as possible.

This is the very model I have used to transform the organisations I have worked with and are proven to work time and time again.

My background in population and genetic modelling has given me the tools to project such financial data far in the future, far beyond the skills available from commercial business consultants and internal staff. This is no theory but what has been proven in practice over 25 years.

Immediate results, long-term growth & no costs:

The charities I have helped, I have done so with self-generating funding, cutting costs and increasing revenue drastically.

· Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust: trebled income in 3 years (that was then sustained)

· Kent Wildlife Trust: quadrupled income in 4 years (that was then sustained)

· Wildwood Trust: rescued two failing visitor centres and turned them into a thriving and high profitable enterprise against all predictions

In the time I was proving my unique approach to charity management I completed professional qualifications to the highest standard, gaining Masters level qualifications in Marketing and Business Administration.

With extensive knowledge of systems for marketing, fundraising and visitor centre operations I can benchmark strategies against industry leaders and find a way for you to survive the COVID 19 crisis and grow in the future.

Let me help your organisation and be your guide to reversing the forthcoming economic calamity.
