Testimonials
“Sally’s experience and energy were invaluable to us. Working with the board and the team she envisioned and designed a new funding model and corporate partnership proposition that has allowed us to engage with our funders and partners in a much more holistic way. Her work on rebranding and messaging then enabled us to reach out to a new audience who have proved very receptive to our refreshed vision.
There is no doubt that the strong foundations that Sally laid in her time with us have contributed greatly to our ability to rise to the challenges that the pandemic has posed, helping us to redouble our support for the disadvantaged young people who have been so hard hit by it and to raise awareness of those challenges amongst our funders and partners."
Philip Grant, Chair of Trustees, The Brokerage (Assignment - Interim CEO)
"As our Interim Director of Partnerships 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."
Cherie Blair QC CBE, Cherie Blair Foundation for Women
"Working with Sally was truly transformative for our project. The energy, enthusiasm and experience that she brought to the role, alongside her well established contacts and networks enabled us to identify many important strategic relationships and an increasing number of local partnerships. These have further grown our vision, aspirations and understanding of the multi-faceted needs of our area."
Rev Dr Gareth Powell, Priest Missioner St Margaret the Queen Capital Campaign (Assignment - Campaign Director)
"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 fundraising strategy and plan and put the building blocks in place to enable us to do so. We benefited enormously from her years of experience which we were lacking in WLZ at the time."
Louisa Mitchell CEO West London Zone (Assignment – Interim Development Director)
"Sally Bateson lead the fundraising team at Trinity Hospice when I was Chairman of the charity. We had outsourced the management of our fundraising effort to Compton’s, an independent specialist firm ad Sally was the second person to lead this effort following this transfer.
Sally is highly effective, both as a leader and fund raiser. She has strong personal qualities and an engaging personality, which makes her an engaging counterparty both for clients and funders."
Richard Briance, Patron (and former Chairman) Trinity Hospice
"Sally’s work on developing the case for support, laying the groundwork for future fundraising, mentoring and coaching have all being game changers for this young charity. Sally brought a depth of intellect and professionalism applied in a kind and maternalistic way to a young and enthusiastic team which needed direction, training and confidence to approach quite challenging fundraising markets.
Sally left the charity well positioned for growth. I unreservedly recommend Sally for any position where she feels she may add value."
Robert Challis, Director and Chief of Staff to Sir Harvey McGrath
"Sally came in as Campaign Director to re-launch our fundraising campaign which we had struggled to get off the ground. Her energy and enthusiasm helped the campaign board to focus and to produce a clear plan and pitch. She helped us to address the tricky subject of personal giving and helped us to make the 'ask' to our networks. Sally also persuaded me to become the chair and we have now raised over £4.2 million for the campaign."
Jill Dinsmore, Chair of the Chances for Children Campaign
"Sally Bateson Consulting helped us with research for potential grant-makers for our capital project and submitted several bids on our behalf. We found Sally to be professional and efficient and we would happily work with her again."
