Welcome!

Having worked with charities and community groups for over 17 years, I'm a huge advocate for the third sector; the value it adds to the economy and the great work it does on the frontline.

More than that, I’m a huge believer in the power of an individual or a small community, and I believe that it’s those tiny actions and small acts of kindness made in every corner of the world that add up to real and significant change.

I write under three core topic headings:

Your purpose

Embracing your big ideas, identifying your priorities, organising your time, and looking after yourself in the process.

Your plan

Defining what you’re trying to achieve and the most effective way to get there, then working and volunteering for causes that matter to you.

Your project

Starting, running and funding your community group, charity or social enterprise, measuring impact and planning for long-term success.

It’s likely that your own unique set of experiences inform the contribution you want to make in the world.

For you, this could be:

  • Volunteering for a cause you believe in.

  • Caring for a family member.

  • Changing careers to something that’s more aligned to your values.

  • Starting a not-for-profit group or social impact business.

  • Taking the lead on an issue that matters to your community.

I share articles and videos on topics such as:

  • Turning your ideas into impact and making a difference in your community.

  • Starting, running and funding a community group or not-for-profit.

  • Creative tools for inspiration, planning and organisation.

  • Aligning with your purpose, mission or calling.

  • Looking after yourself when you’ve dedicated your life to helping others.
