“Christian Aid has been delighted to work with Fi over the past few months. The experience and approach she has brought to her work has engaged and educated the legacy team and provided a clear focus to our short to mid term plans.
As an organisation we have ambitious growth plans for Legacy Fundraising. Fi has worked across Christian Aid to address the challenges we face, ensuring that “we don’t try to run before we can walk” and that the fundamentals are in place and are a sound base, from which we can build growth. As a faith based organisation, there are some unique challenges we face. Fi has worked collaboratively with partners and stakeholders to ensure that our plans and roadmap are tailored to the needs of both Christian Aid and our partners and are achievable with the resource we have.”

“Being mentored by Fi over the last four years has been transformational for me both personally and professionally. I met Fi when I was refocusing on career after having my family. I was lacking in confidence and direction. Fi inspired and empowered me to be ambitious and believe in myself. She has been a sounding board and coached me through pivotal moments in my career. She has been my challenger and cheerleader. As a person, Fi goes above and beyond to make you feel genuinely cared for and supported. I wouldn’t be where I am in my career now if I hadn’t met Fi.”
