Following the appointment of Executive Director Fay Jennett and Artistic Director Jude Christian in 2025, NOG entered a period of significant organisational development, establishing its first paid leadership structure and setting out an ambitious artistic and strategic vision for the company's next chapter.

I joined the organisation as Strategic Fundraising Consultant, working closely with Fay and Jude to strengthen fundraising systems, processes and long-term planning. My work has included developing NOG's case for support, researching and cultivating new income opportunities, creating a bespoke fundraising database and prospect pipeline, supporting funder stewardship, and developing applications to trusts, foundations and individual donors.

Alongside this, I’ve worked with the leadership team to map NOG's artistic programme and organisational ambitions against potential funding opportunities, identifying distinct fundable strands across productions, artist development, community engagement, and organisational development. This has enabled the company to build a more coordinated and strategic approach to fundraising across both project and multi-year funding opportunities.
