Strategic Consultant at Home-Start UK

May 2020 to Present:

Brought in as a senior generalist and business advisor by this 180-strong federated network in May

2020. Every Home-Start is an independent, self-funding organisation, facing unique local issues.

Projects range from diversifying income to restructuring, mentoring boards, strategic planning and

business advisory. To date I have supported over 25 local organisations and helped to bring in in

over £4m of additional funding over a three-year period.

“Abi has been a fantastic support for many local charities in the Home-Start network She

demonstrates great understanding of impact and her expertise spans from practical support around

bid-writing to creative discussions about strategy, vision and sustainability.”
