Katy did a brilliant job at preparing our charity's end of year accounts and doing the independent examination and getting them ready for submission. She's very pleasant to interact with, an excellent and calm communicator. She also did a great job at streamlining our internal financial reporting. We look forward to working with her again.
Constance de Montigny; Director of Operations, Create Streets
Rebecca was amazing, she understood our work and kept us fully updated and informed of what she was doing. Asked relevant questions and quickly grasped the situation. As a result we have received substantial lottery funding. Thank you.
Nicolette N, Gascoyne & Morningside Youth Club
James was an enormous help during a very difficult time for our charity. He brought clarity and enthusiasm, providing clear and honest feedback, guidance and support in writing bids to receive much needed funding to enable us to re-open. He also helped in developing a clear strategy for our ongoing fundraising. We would highly recommend James. Thank you to him and Blume for the support. The Toucan Team
Marie W, Toucan for Children
Beth wrote and designed a fantastic impact report for Mindful Music. She managed to communicate key information visually and with words in a clear and engaging manner. She responded to feedback quickly and with incredible attention to detail. Thank you Beth for your wonderful creation.
Martha W, Mindful Music
Alex has been so helpful, I can't recommend him enough. He was able to cut through a lot of the challenges I'm experiencing and broke them down into - what are the actual pressures here and how much is down to my own need for urgency? His insight and experience helped me to realise that I'm not alone and that other Directors/CEOs are experiencing or have experienced the same kinds to things.
Catherine Skinner, Director, Maa Shanti
Beth was filling in part time for 3 months whilst our own fundraiser was on sabbatical. Beth was keen and knowledgeable, listened attentively and quickly got up to speed with who we are as an organisation and what we required her to do. She gave us good feedback on our processes and procedures, used our documents and files well, showed herself to be extremely capable, flexible and versatile, and had brought in over £20,000 by the time she left us 36 days later! Which is EXACTLY what you want from a fundraiser! I would definitely re-employ her should we need to fill a gap again.
Catherine Healey, Chief Executive, Acet UK
Ann-Marie provided us with HR advice and support. From the very first contact to the completion of the task Ann-Marie was professional, polite, kept to schedule and fulfilled the brief required. Highly recommended.
Kate A from Helen Rollason Cancer Charity, Helen Rollason Cancer Charity
Carolyn is a fantastic writer - comes to the table with creative ideas, provides a quick turn-around and has a really engaging style. Highly recommended!
Sarah B from The Joy Club, The Joy Club
We were really happy to find Doron on Blume. He has completely transformed our finance function and has helped us move forward with a number of other fundraising and administrative projects. The result is a modern cloud-based finance system fit for 2024 that integrates with all parts of our charity - helping us to engage all stakeholders. We are now able to develop clear and reliable reporting, helping us to understand our business better and continue to grow.
