Tamara Essex -
helping charities achieve their objectives


I am a freelance management consultant working for charities, voluntary and community organisations, community partnerships, and with the statutory sector.

I can help large and small organisations with service development, fundraising, business planning, and strategic and organisational development. I am currently offering a training course on “Ten Steps to the Perfect Fundraising Bid“ (see below).

With a background of working closely with Local Authorities and as a Health Authority Non-Executive Director, I can help with multi-agency working, and with the preparation of tenders for statutory sector contracts.

I an an Approved Consultant with NCVO (the National Council for Voluntary Organisations), and am on the approved lists for Capacitybuilders in Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire.
