“Across three organisations now, I have been one of Ali’s fundraising clients. I absolutely trust her judgement and, in a sector that can be crowded with opinions and complexity, she cuts through the noise and distraction. Ali’s vast experience enables her to see the operation holistically to facilitate sustainable growth and resilience. Above all, I very much enjoy collaborating with Ali as she’s great to bounce ideas off and help problem solve.”
