What it’s like to work together
“From the initial call with Sophie, I felt that she really cared about our cause, and made the process seamless. There were different options for us to choose in terms of levels of support (no pressure and our budget was taken into consideration).”
Co-Founder, Peeps
“Sophie is absolutely superb to work with. She brings depth of experience which is manifested in astute insights, together with an upbeat and highly collaborative manner and top class writing skills. We are very lucky to have her working with our charity.”
Partnerships & Development Director, Future First
“We needed immediate support on challenging fundraising. We worked on a limited budget of 15 days with Sophie Buck who was excellent in her approach and very quick to match us up with possible funding targets. We have already had some very encouraging results and have more than justified the costs involved. We are now looking to work with Sophie again later this year. Can recommend highly.”
Chair of Trustees, Greenwood Community Centre
“An example of our work with Sophie - she supported us to identify a funder that may be interested in one of our projects which is of strategic importance to us. Within a few days, she had developed an application that described our funding need in a really compelling way and in line with the funder’s interests. Within a few months, we had a letter confirming the full amount we asked for would be in our organisation’s bank account that week. We couldn’t recommend her enough.”
Director, Hertfordshire Combat Centre
Clear fees, agreed in advance
Know the cost.
Then decide.
You shouldn’t have to book a call just to find out whether consultancy is within your budget. Every service page sets out typical project prices or day rates, and what affects the cost.
We agree the scope, deliverables and fee before work starts. If your needs change, we discuss the implications together.
