It has been such a pleasure working with Amanda over the past year. She has provided sterling support on our Trusts & Grants work while we sought to recruit a dedicated grants manager for the first time. Handling any and all requests for bid writing, relationship management and reporting with consistently fast, effective and quality work, her professionalism, calmness and good humour in the face of even the most short notice support needs, has contributed significantly to the financial success of our grants work. I would highly recommend her and would be delighted to work with her again in the future.

Amanda worked with us during a transition time when we were recruiting to a new post. Her expertise and knowledge were of great benefit to us and she fitted well into the team. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Amanda's sevices again in future as it was a real pleasure working with her.

Amanda was contracted for 6 months as Interim Trust and Statutory Grants Manager at the National Maritime Museum. During this period Amanda raised in excess of £400,000 and has been successful in building relationships with new funders and departments within the Museum. We were very impressed with her work ethic and 'can do' attitude, and have re - employed her on a 5 month freelance contract to assist with the development of a large capital appeal. I would recommend Amanda and Helping Hands to assist other charities in their fundraising efforts.
