Empowering non-profits

Helping not-for-profits and charities with planning, strategy and funding bid content.

I’ve worked within the non-profit sector on and off since 1992!
Secured over £3million in funding for non-profit organisations since 2020!
Set up 18 CIC fundable and compliant social enterprises from scratch!

I love working within the
non-profit sector!

Are you looking to set up a CIC?

I provide all social enterprises, charities & community interest companies with commercial awareness, a sounding board and a “fresh pair of eyes” to help them set up and develop their organisation without losing their passion for what they started or what they are growing.

I also ensure that what they set up operates legally, compliantly and above all, is fundable!

Don’t know how to set up your CIC or CIO properly?

Company is registered, but what now?

Feel you are winging it?

Need to get a formal plan in place?

Lost your way with fundraising ideas?

Have no idea how to get corporate sponsorship or be made a good cause of the year?

As a Charity Development Consultant, I provide advice, support & guidance to help your organisation grow, meet its goals and stretch its targets, including funding applications, fundraising strategy, business planning and improving due diligence and governance to ensure you are bid ready. Learn more about the services I can help you with.


I am passionate about what you set up being legal, compliant and fundable, I don’t care what we set up, just make sure it suits what you have set out to achieve.


Setting up a nonprofit organisation shouldn’t be done on a whim, it is a serious undertaking,with lots of responsibility and accountability to the community and your colleagues.

“Wendy’s support throughout my business setup and development journey has been absolutely invaluable. She has empowered me with the confidence to create my company, draft a business plan, and formulate a future strategy – all within a matter of weeks. I truly couldn’t have done it without her expertise and guidance. What sets Wendy apart is her personal touch; no question feels too small or silly, and her approach always makes me feel heard and supported. I know that I will continue to rely on Wendy’s assistance well into the future.

Thank you, Wendy
