Our founder and lead consultant
At Cambridgeshire ACRE, she led the organisation from crisis to stability, building nationally recognised programmes for rural communities, securing significant funding, and delivering innovative programmes that made a real difference.
Kirsten’s consultancy specialises in working with small and medium-sized charities, supporting volunteer trustees. Her approach is rooted in empathy, clarity and evidence-based practice. As a certified coach, Kirsten creates a trusted space for leaders to reflect, learn and grow, blending thoughtful questioning with practical strategies. She understands the pressures charity leaders face shrinking funding, rising demand and the need to demonstrate impact and offers tailored solutions in governance, leadership, evaluation and fundraising.
