Testimonials
In their own words
“Michael’s empathy and strong grasp of our charity’s aims and challenges was impressive and validating. The follow-up document was full of really useful, practical, tailored guidance. As a result of the Faur Bearings consultation, we now have a wonderful social media placement volunteer to assist with our social media.”
Jane Hartley · Development Coordinator, Gracemount Mansion
“My session with Michael was the first step on my journey as a charity: a half-hour of impartial, practical advice. Our conversation clarified my aims, and the advisory note that followed set out what to consider and the order to tackle it. It helped me think clearly and get things done. Hope at the Oaks is now a registered charity, with a website, a business bank account and a board of trustees, and we are applying for our first funding. Thank you, Michael, for your wisdom and generosity.”
Natasha Robinson · Founder, Hope at the Oaks
