DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT…

Sally efficiently recruited a team of competent fundraisers and set about auditing our income potential, putting plans in place for future fundraising. As part of this she created our ‘100,000 Women Redefining the Future’ campaign to raise £10 million to realise our vision of reaching 100,000 women by 2022. Thanks to Sally this campaign has given my Foundation a clear focus and is helping to shape our organisational strategy.

I am very happy to recommend Claire and Sally. They worked together to devise a highly successful new partnership model and brand for our organisation.

We have seen significant benefits from their work, including a greatly enhanced profile for our organisation and the opportunity to engage at a much higher level with our funding partners.

Claire made an incredible impact in her time with Business in the Community, and was always a joy to work with.   From both bringing structure and fundamentals to the marketing team, to leading on high profile campaigns including our National Business Response Network campaign, she always strove to achieve maximum impact, collaborating and bringing everyone on the journey.    I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Claire again.

Sally worked with the East End Community Foundation to develop and launch our hugely successful Life Chances Campaign.  This new strategic approach has helped us raise unrestricted and multi-year funding allowing us to focus on the issues and people that need our support the most.  As Chairman of the Foundation I appreciated the structure and support I received from Sally along with her professionalism and drive.

Claire has been a pleasure to work and with a brilliant mentor.

She has made a big difference in my current role and my outlook on the future in a short space of time. She really listened and then helped me to break down all the challenges I faced and equipped me with the tools, models and confidence I needed to take on these challenges.

She has so many brilliant ideas and suggestions my head was buzzing in a good way!

Working with Claire has boosted my confidence greatly and gave me a huge amount of clarity during a challenging time. Thank you Claire!

Sally came to help us at a time when we were moving from start-up to grown-up organisation.

She developed our marketing and communications function from a standing start, and she also helped us to understand what it takes to develop a coherent strategy and plan and put the building blocks in place to enable us to do so. We benefited enormously from her years of experience.

I’d like to take this opportunity to recommend Claire Taylor-Harris. Her  leadership, strategic insight and collaborative approach have resulted in innovative and impactful improvements – and more than that, she is always a joy to work alongside – a force for good right across the business.

Sally has done a great job building the team and focusing them on securing our £10m goal. This has enabled the development of high-quality relationships with a stellar line-up of big businesses. It is a brilliant foundation to develop our proposition and diversify our sources of funding.

Sally joined us as a consultant at a critical time when we had developed our 3 year strategy – she is an extraordinary people-person, listening carefully with a clear objective in mind which enables a win-win for all involved. As a result she very quickly learnt about our work, naturally absorbed and embedded herself in our culture and developed strong relationships with each of our key stakeholders. Sally’s contribution to the Institute of Imagination’s fundraising work has been transformational at a critical time for us, has impacted our work in many ways and will no doubt leave a positive long-lasting legacy.
