results that her imaginative approach and focus deliver.

“We are lucky to find Philippa. Her honesty and integrity matches well with the

professionalism she applies. She shows she looks closely at the nuances of our business so

that, in making funding applications on our behalf, our case and credibility are demonstrated

clearly and effectively. Not an easy task for such a project which isn't always clearly defined.

I would highly recommend her business skills to anyone “

Ken Radford, General Manager, People & Gardens CIC.

“Philippa completed a community fundraising research brief to support our fundraising

strategy for a capital campaign. Philippa fully engaged with our organisation and the ethos of

our campaign and completed the work on time despite a very tight timescale. I would have

no hesitation in recommending Philippa as a fundraising consultant and would happily work

with her again should the opportunity arise.”

Amanda Denham, Trust and Grants Manager, Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education

“Philippa headed up the Beach Fundraising Section that supported the inception of

Lifeguarding within the RNLI. She was inspirational, dedicated and fun! I would recommend

her services to anyone.”
