Coaching

for charity leaders and fundraisers

 

Are you a Charity CEO, fundraiser or senior leader in your organisation?

Have you found:

  • There’s no safe space to process your leadership challenges.

  • You’re struggling to grow your charity to the next level.

  • Your work is taking over your life.

It can be transformational to have somebody come alongside you as a coach, especially when they understand your role and its challenges.

We offer 1 to 1 coaching with Karina Martin, our Head of Fundraising and Marketing.

"It was very helpful talking to Karina about the challenges my social enterprise was facing, in 2021. While she brought an abundance of experience and wisdom about the specific issues at hand, she also knew exactly when to listen and ask a great question, and when to offer her thoughts! I left feeling understood, encouraged, and clearer about my next steps. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Karina." 

Chernise Neo, Senior Impact Consultant 

"Karina has been so helpful in not only being an easy, friendly person to talk to but also giving me really valuable tools to help me balance the different demands in my life”. 

Sian Johns, Fundraiser, Copywriter and Digital Marketer

About Karina

I was founder and CEO of the successful refugee charity Upbeat Communities, from 2005 – 2015. I then co-founded and led the national refugee charity Welcome Churches until 2020. Over that time, I raised over half a million pounds to help refugees settle in the UK. I developed several innovative projects that have been replicated across the UK. In 2020 I received the Langton Award from the Archbishop of Canterbury for services to refugees.

  • In 2022 I was awarded a bursary to study a Business Masters at the University of Cambridge in Social Innovation, where I achieved a distinction for my research. As Head of Business and Social Innovation at Reach, a multi-site church in the East Midlands, I relaunched its conference business. In its first year this generated over £150,000 for the charity. In 2023 I was commissioned as project lead for a Community Grocers, raising over £97,000 in 6 months to launch the project.

    As Director of Fundraising and Marketing for Better Story, I multiply this impact by supporting charities and leaders who are transforming communities across the globe. I’m here to walk alongside you as you write your own story.
