Louise’s training has been a great experience and has really helped to accelerate our Major Donor fundraising at Sue Ryder.

Louise made the training very relatable to the experience and size of our charity.  The team came away from the training feeling enthusiastic and excited to move forward with their Major Donor fundraising with brilliant tips and advice on how to do so. 

I would thoroughly recommend Louise’s Major Donor training.

I’ve raised over £340k from major donors in the 8 months Louise and I worked together.

We reached our income target for the year with 5 months to go.

It’s nice to be at work and not be under financial pressure.

Louise’s coaching has been a space to reflect on what I’ve been doing, learn about what works and challenge myself to imagine what is possible.
