HELEN IS THE LITTLEST AND THE LOUDEST!

Helen is our founder and CEO (and also chief cake baker).

Her background in content marketing agencies gave her a strong grounding in blue chip marketing, managing account teams working for clients such as Sony, the Department of Education, Kimberly Clark, O2 and NatWest.

Having worked in marketing and fundraising in local Reading schools and charities for 15 years, she has a great understanding of the local landscape and is passionate about making Reading a better place. Helen understands what makes local organisations tick, and how they can interact beneficially with their potential funders, audiences and each other.

She has great links to the local charity sector, and has worked on many projects, including running the Giving Tree campaign based in the Oracle in 2024, and launching the Whitley Carnival in 2023. Helen is supported by a small but amazing team who dip in to offer their specialist skills when needed.
