About you:

I am a Consultant with Action Planning, a leading UK management, fundraising and recruitment consultancy to charities and not-for-profit organisations. I support a diversity of clients in understanding their markets, strengthening their organisations and planning for the future. I also work with clients to develop high impact projects and robust monitoring and evaluation systems, generated through planning processes involving different tools such as the logical framework and theory of change. Before joining Action Planning, I worked for over 10 years in international development and socio-economic regeneration, in various research, policy analysis and project management posts with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF-UK), the new economics foundation (nef) and Women’s World Banking (WWB). Each year, over 5,000 sector leaders make use of Action Planning’s programme of national conferences, training and consultancy. This includes major events, run with ACEVO, CAF and CFDG, and a series of practical workshops, which includes how to demonstrate outcomes.
