Testimonials

“Rosie is a brilliant trust freelancer – she is great at creating succint, persuasive proposals and applications, can highlight any weak areas and work on developing more information for those, and is also very efficient with her time. Would highly recommend for any charities looking for trusts and foundations freelance support and bid-writing.”

Alicia Grainger, Alicia Grainger Fundraising

“Rosie is insightful and intuitive, really gets to know an audience and understands how to engage people. Rosie is very much a big-picture person, visionary, strategic, whilst also practical and pragmatic. She is very fast, reliable and effective in delivering projects.

Rosie is much more than just a fundraiser – her background in development makes Rosie quite unique. It enables her to work with project staff at peer level, to look at impact of projects in a meaningful way, and consequently to develop bids and proposals in a language that resonates with large funders. During her time at INF, Rosie worked initially with INF’s trust fundraiser and was later promoted to manage INF’s individual giving programmes. Lovely with people, technically savvy – a great addition to any fundraising team!

Iris Keenan, former Fundraising Director at International Nepal Fellowship UK

“Whilst Rosie was the CEO of KairosWWT, she was highly successful at developing and sustaining a wide, diverse funding base. Rosie took a holistic approach to her role at KairosWWT considering where funding was needed, where the growth areas would be and what additional assistance funders could offer, for example mentoring of key team members. Rosie was so successful in writing funding applications that we were able to more than double the operational team with the security that we were not dependent on just one major funder. I received feedback directly from multiple funders that the application they had received from Rosie was the best that they had seen. Additionally to Rosie’s exceptional fundraising abilities, she is inspiring, well organised, reliable and totally trustworthy. She is someone that I thoroughly enjoyed working with, always striving for the best for KairosWWT, retaining a great sense of humour despite the difficulties that her role often threw at her.”
