Forget barriers to giving. What about barriers to getting the job done? From convoluted processes to fear of change dressed as protocol, it’s time we started seeing barriers as prompts for progress.

We love to ask 'What are barriers to making a donation?' But what about "What are the barriers to getting the job done?"

For smaller charities, data can feel like a headache.

We help by keeping it simple: making sure supporter records are tidy, donations are logged, and reports are easy to run.

It frees you up to focus on fundraising, not spreadsheets.

If you need a regular couple of hours each month, or have a one-off piece of work - no matter how small - drop me a line at [email protected] or follow the link! www.ptgbusiness.co.uk/contact-us

Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for many charities. Juggling competing priorities with the same limited resource is never easy.

That’s where PtG can step in. A couple of extra hands to help with data, get appeals out the door, and take on the essential grunt work you simply don’t have time for.

My support is flexible, with no minimum hours and no hefty retainers. Just practical help across fundraising projects, big or small.

Having an extra pair of hands to keep your data tidy is great.

But what if those same hands could also review some proofs, draft Individual Giving copy, or liaise with your printers so everything lands on time?

For small charities, having one person to see a project from start to finish is often the most effective, and the most cost-efficient.

My support is flexible, with no minimum hours and no hefty retainers. Just practical help across fundraising projects, big or small.

The smallest jobs can make the biggest difference.

Whether it’s importing a single file of donations, getting some Gift Aid declarations onto a CRM, helping get an appeal out of the door, or coming up with a bit of copy for your newsletter, I’m happy to pitch in where and when needed.

For small charities, it can be a relief to have someone you can call on, without committing to big budgets. It’s about flexible help, not big hours.

I dropped the C-bomb. CONSULTANT.

Why does that word make me wince? Because titles shape how we’re seen, and sometimes, they box us in. Here’s what I’ve learned about naming what we do (and why I still prefer ‘I’m Julie’)

Sometimes just a few hours is all it takes to turn your Christmas appeal from a turkey into a cracker.

Christmas appeals and seasonal events all rely on accurate data. We can help get your database campaign-ready: checking contact details, sorting selections, and making sure your festive message gets to the right people.

And when the tinsel is down and the lights are tangled for another year, I can still be your new year helper.

Christmas deadlines have a habit of sneaking up on small charities. One moment you’re planning, the next you’re racing to get selections sorted, appeals out the door, In Memory communications drafted, along with the 101 other “gifts” the season brings.

If time is running out, I can help. Just a couple of hours of support can make sure your Christmas fundraising lands on time and reaches the right people.

My support is flexible, with no minimum hours and no hefty retainers. Just practical, reliable help when you need it most.

You wouldn’t build a house without an architect, so why build a CRM without a data specialist?

Fundraisers and data people bring different superpowers.
Respect the differences.
Reap the rewards.

Ask me to build a CRM for you and them you can focus on fundraising through inspiring campaigns and hard working appeals - viva la difference!
