Helping brilliant charities bring in more funding.
Freelance trusts and foundations fundraising support for UK charities.
From finding the right funders to writing compelling applications and building stronger pipelines, I provide practical, experienced fundraising support when you need an extra pair of hands.
About me
I’m a freelance fundraiser working with brilliant charities across the UK to help them bring in more funding and feel more confident about their trusts and foundations fundraising.
I’ve worked with 23 charities and CICs, from small grassroots organisations to national charities with incomes of over £10 million, and have helped raise over £2.1 million in funding. My experience spans everything from BBC Radio 4 appeals and government funding applications to six-figure bids.
I’m currently based in Vietnam, and when I’m not fundraising, you’ll usually find me exploring somewhere new, by the sea or out in nature. The part of my work I enjoy most is getting to know a charity properly and helping them build strong, lasting relationships with funders.
How I can help
Whether you need an extra pair of hands or a fresh perspective on your fundraising, I offer flexible support that meets you where you are.

Testimonials
I’m lucky to have worked with over 20 amazing non-profits of all shapes and sizes.
Here’s what a few of them have said about working with me:
Nomad Opening Doors
“Thank you for the amazing job you have done for Nomad since June 2025. I am very pleased that our relationship will continue into the coming financial year and am very much looking forward to more successes.
I also want to thank you for being so good to work with; I very much appreciate your approach.”
Hope for Southall Street Homeless
“The Trustees were delighted with the fact that within 5 months, Yasmin had shown the earning power that she brought from her previous experience, illustrated in a broad and deep pipeline, and confirmed with newly generated income.
Her writing up of applications is perceptive, noting what each funder is looking for in particular and adapting the text accordingly. Yasmin takes on more responsibility than her allocated hours would seem to allow for. Excellent record keeping, clear updating of work done across each month, ready to report to and liaise directly with the Chair of Trustees and the Finance Group, Yasmin’s work ethic is matched by her clear and open working relationship with both Trustees and Staff.”
Manchester Mind
“I wanted to pass on that the management team have read your proposals and fed back very positively in the content, tone and fresh approach. In particular they like how the outcomes were embedded throughout.“
