Client Testimonials
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jessica Borham, whose fundraising consultancy brought an unparalleled level of expertise and experience to our charity, Sufra NW London. Jessica’s focus on our individual giving strategy, coupled with her leadership in helping us set up our new CRM and spearheading a digital fundraising appeal was very effective. She consistently demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, attention to detail, and outstanding communication skills. Her ability to develop strategic plans, seamlessly integrate with our small team, provide clear reporting, and deliver insightful analysis with actionable recommendations was invaluable. We strongly recommend Jessica and eagerly anticipate collaborating with her again in the future.”
— Rajesh, Sufra NW London
“Jess has worked as a consultant for the Trussell Trust, supporting the development of our digital acquisition programme and our supporter journeys from March to June 2022. Jess has been a brilliant asset to the team during this time, bringing both high-level strategic support and excellent practical and technical skills to the role. Jess has worked extensively internally across multiple departments involved in our supporter recruitment and engagement process and our digital infrastructure as well as leading on key relationships with our supporting creative and media buying agencies to launch our new ‘Always-On’ Digital Programme and our integrated summer campaign. She has demonstrated excellent problem-solving skills, time management and attention to detail, as well as supporting newer members of our team to be onboarded into the organisation. Her expertise has been invaluable and has resulted in the development of clear processes and reporting for our digital acquisition and extensive new supporter engagement journeys for the Trussell Trust.”
— Sophie , Trussell Trust
“Jess worked with Literacy Pirates for six months. The task was to fill a gap in our corporate partnerships team and help us find major partnerships for our growth plans. Jess brought to us a incredible wealth of knowledge and practice that has strengthened not only our corporate fundraising, but the whole fundraising team. She got under the bonnet quickly, and diagnosed a precise set of work to complete, which she did on time. Through her guidance we have created better procedures around due diligence, improved our pipeline generation, set a path for creating much larger partnerships with corporates and set out some really big dreams for what we can achieve. I find Jess to be incredibly effective with her time, honest in everything she does and helpful in thinking about how to position the charity to succeed. I highly recommend Jess to any charity.”
— Jude , Literacy Pirates
“Samaritans have worked with Jess on a few different projects and have been really pleased with everything that has been delivered. Jess’s knowledge of the sector and experience working across a variety of products, asks and channels means we’ve been able to get a really high level of consultancy at a very reasonable rate. If you are looking for someone with extensive fundraising and stewardship experience, whilst giving you practical ways to implement and refine your project delivery in house, we can recommend seeing what Jess can do to support you. As a team, we attended a series of supporter journey mapping workshops which have been valuable in upskilling everyone to deliver considerate, low cost supporter journeys, improved retention and cross sell opportunities. Jess developed a 6 week email journey for our new Lead Gen prospective donors which is already resulting in higher conversion to a regular gift. We’ve also just finished work on a donor centric welcome journey for both new regular and one-off cash donors which we are really excited to see the results of based on the content Jess wrote for us.”
