Helping you create the Change
you want to see.

I work with dedicated Philanthropists, Activists and radical Change Makers who have achieved wealth and/or influence through perseverance and commitment. If you are motivated to leverage your resources and position to drive meaningful change, I am here to support you and advocate for you in realising that vision.

Together, we’ll amplify your voice, maximise your impact, and ensure your generosity makes the most meaningful difference possible.

Meet your Advocate

I am Jeneen and have over 23 years of hands-on experience in the UK's charity, not-for-profit, and grant-giving sectors, I've covered everything from setting up charities, shaping strategies, governance, and philanthropy, to managing income generation and directing charitable operations.

I’m driven by the incredible people I partner with - their vision, passion, and ambition. I genuinely feel honoured to support your journey, helping you bring meaningful change to life.

Key Experience

  • Advising high-profile and anonymous donors, helping them to clearly define their goals to make the meaningful impact they want.

  • Extensive experience supporting change makers, activists, and philanthropists within the creative sector.

  • Managing multi-million-pound philanthropic projects from start to finish, making sure every pound invested delivers real results and positive change.

  • Building strong base for giving - setting up and managing registered charities (trusts and foundations) with clear, practical governance and reporting that meets Charity Commission guidelines.

  • Designing and overseeing effective grant-making programmes, carefully ensuring funds achieve exactly what they’re intended to.

  • Creating and nurturing strategic partnerships, both in the UK and internationally, that match philanthropists with charities and causes who share their vision.

  • Acting as a trusted, discreet advisor, managing confidentiality sensitively, handling media interest thoughtfully, and navigating conflicts of interest openly.

  • Developing tailored giving strategies that align with each donor’s personal vision, ethical values, and comfort with risk.

  • Staying closely connected to current social issues, policy developments, and public attitudes, pushing for innovative approaches that genuinely solve problems and improve lives.

Why work with me

If you're looking for a formal advisor with traditional academic credentials, that's not me. Instead, my style is practical, authentic, and deeply involved - I like to move away from the desk, get out into communities, meet people face-to-face, and really understand the causes you care about.
