Fundraising, Grant Writing, Communications

Bio

Hi- I’m Lorraine- a fundraiser and communications professional with more than 12 years’ experience working with a range of charities and social enterprises operating at a local, national and international level. A highly adaptable fundraiser with a passion for writing, I have a strong background in delivering fundraising and communication strategies, bid writing (governments, trusts and foundations, fee-for-service contracts), major and individual donors, campaigns, content writing for reports, websites, newsletters and social media. I previously ran a fundraising and communications advice service for a local infrastructure organisation, so I am able to give practical, realistic advice that is achievable and actionable for small organisations. I have worked with organisations focusing on health, mental health, research and advocacy, environment, global development, education, training and employment.
