Charity Consulting

Support for values led organisations doing vital work

I support charities, grassroots groups and purpose driven organisations to lead with confidence, care and clarity. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your impact, I offer hands on, experienced consultancy grounded in sector knowledge and a deep understanding of community led work.

With over a decade of experience - including growing a national charity from a volunteer led group to a funded, sustainable organisation, I understand the complexity and responsibility of working for social change. I bring that insight into every project, helping you build structures, services and strategies that last.

Services include:

✔ Governance & Leadership

✔ Strategy & Organisational Development

✔ Fundraising & Income Generation

✔ Service Design & Community Engagement

✔ People, Culture & HR

My approach:

I know what it means to hold a mission close and to carry the weight of responsibility for people, funding and impact. I bring that insight into every engagement.

“As a first time Chair, I stepped into the role with passion but little practical experience of what running a charity truly involved. More specifically from the perspective of governance and strategic planning to funding bids, policy development, and compliance. In this respect, working with Shelina has been absolutely transformative. From day one, she brought process, structure, and clarity to what initially felt quite overwhelming. She guided me through the responsibilities of charity leadership, helping me understand and uphold our constitution, develop a focused strategic plan of action, and assisted with the publication of key documents like our Annual Report. She supported me in building a solid portfolio of policies and procedures, helping ensure we had the right governance practices in place. Personally, what set Shelina apart was not just her technical expertise, but her lived experience of working in the third sector. She brought an unparalleled understanding of the unique challenges and realities we face as a grassroots charity, beyond the practicalities, her encouragement and professionalism made her an invaluable partner. She empowered me to grow into the role and gave me the confidence to lead with intention, integrity and purpose. I cannot recommend Shelina highly enough to any charity leader, particularly those starting out or navigating large organisational transitions. Her support has been one of the most important investments I have made.”
