Free Consult

I keep a few sessions free each month for grassroots organisations with very little budget. Send me the site and the problem. If I can help, I will look at it before we speak and use the time to work out what you should do next.

What you get

One focused conversation about the problem in front of you.

What to do first A short list in an order that fits the time and people you have.
What can wait A straight answer on what is not worth your time yet, and whether you need paid support at all.
A look before the call If the website or workflow is the problem, I will review the relevant parts in advance.
Useful free routes I will point you to a free tool, resource or another person when that is the better answer.
Time to ask the awkward questions We can talk through the problem properly and leave with a decision, not another vague recommendation.

Who this is for

This is for organisations doing community work that cannot reasonably pay for this help right now. You do not need to make the application sound impressive. I only need enough context to make a fair call.

Charities Community groups Arts organisations CICs Social enterprises Voluntary sector teams Local campaigns Grassroots sports clubs Independent venues
