About me
Supporting charities to grow
Having spent the last 20 years in the voluntary sector, I set up Elanor Hoskin Consulting in 2016 to provide bespoke support and consultancy.
Since then my business has grown and allowed me to help and support a number of charities in a variety of ways.
Down to earth and approachable, I am able to quickly and easily understand a charity's needs and work together a solution or support.
I have a 20-year plus career in the voluntary sector and have worked in a range of strategic, supportive and fundraising roles and I am passionate about empowering charities and their leaders to grow and adapt.
My experience has predominantly been working at or for a range of small to medium sized charities (under £3 million income), many of them at the stage where they want to make a step change, are at a crisis point or are at the beginning of their fundraising journeys.
I have hands on experience of delivering fundraising, strategic and capital income growth and of leading a national charity as CEO through a period of change. A key strength lies in my ability to quickly identify the real issues or challenges and then implement practical solutions that will work and produce good results.
I have spent time on the Board of Trustees of a regional Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence charity in a voluntary capacity. I have gained the CIOF Certificate in Fundraising Management and I was an active member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising South West Committee for five years. I also sat on the Atlantic and Moorland Local Action Groups which is responsible for granting LEADER funding locally. I am a co-founder of the South West Fundraisers Forum which supports fundraisers across the UK to network and grow.
Outside of charity life, I enjoy spending time with my family and interests include cycling, surfing (badly), skiing (equally badly) and holistic therapies.
