A trusted partner and safe pair of hands
I created Grateful Giving from many years working in NHS fundraising and patient and family philanthropy. At Addenbrooke’s, I created the NHS’s first Grateful Patient Programme.I have also led major capital campaigns for a new children’s hospital and a cancer hospital, starting without an established major donor base.
Today, I work with NHS charities, national health charities, professional bodies and clinical leaders nationwide, turning philanthropic potential into programmes that are ambitious, appropriate and built to last. I believe Grateful Giving is one of the biggest untapped opportunities in health philanthropy. Done well, it can help charities raise more while enabling patients and families to give in a way that feels meaningful to them.
Recent clients include NHS charities for Trusts including; Alder Hey, Chelsea & Westminster, Frimley, Leicester, Mid-Cheshire, Moorfields, Newcastle, Norfolk & Norwich, Northumbria, Oxford, Sheffield and Southampton. I've also been working with The Royal Veterinary College, Teenage Cancer Trust, NHS Charities Together and St John International.
“Gemma’s facilitation and guidance at our first charity away day were brilliant. The session was informative and innovative, challenging our traditional thinking in the best possible way.”
