Hello and Welcome
from Alan Underwood, Director
Hi, I'm pleased you could drop in. Details of my consultancy can be found below and by following the tab links in the header above. For your convenience you can also download a copy of my consultancy flyer
here.
Au Flyer V2
I have over thirty years experience in the third sector to draw upon, as a volunteer, senior manager, Director and Trustee, in providing advice and support to your organisation. I have a particular interest in, and knowledge of, nature conservation, wildlife and biodiversity, recycling, community regeneration and social enterprise. Since setting up my consultancy in February 2000 I have produced a wide range of reports including business and development plans , feasibility studies, business reviews and project evaluations. A small portfolio of report covers can be found under the relevant tab above. My reports make as much use as possible of images to convey a message and make a case. My own photographic work supports this approach and low resolution examples of my project and other photography are available on this site. My wide experience of funding; as a funder, grant assessor and as a fundraiser, has enabled me to raise over £2,000,000 for clients to date.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for further details or to discuss your requirements. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, Alan.
