I'm a freelance consultant
for the community, heritage, environmental, and charity sectors.
Since 2011, I have supported charities and good causes to secure £20 million in grant funding
I support organisations and projects at all stages of development, implementation and review.
I will work with you to:
- Develop new ideas
- Secure grants and income
- Review strategic documents
- Set a new vision
- Evaluate activities
Specialising in heritage, environmental and community projects, I work with not for profit organisations. Most of my work is close to home in Northumberland but I have also supported projects across the UK. Previous contracts range from just proofreading to developing full activity plans or evaluative reports. My smallest successful grant application is a few £100 and my largest is several £million.
I will work closely with you and your team to provide the service you need, whether that is leading project development, facilitating a workshop, providing training, or just providing a critical eye.
Together we can achieve change and fulfil the potential of your organisation or project.

“You have provided us with sound advice throughout, based on your extensive expertise, and I am convinced that we would not have achieved a positive response from the National Lottery Heritage Fund without your guidance and very practical help in pitching things the right way. When people ask me, from time to time, for my own advice on applying to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, I always say that the best first step is to employ a funding adviser, such as Katherine Williams!”
I am a professional, approachable, and flexible consultant who will bring expertise, focus, and new ideas to your project.
I work with volunteer-led groups, registered charities, CICs, non-governmental organisations and statutory bodies. With my support, clients have brought new projects to life and embedded change within their organisation.
As a working mum, my family, community, and local environment are important to me. You will see this in the way that I work and the projects that I support. I love my work and I’m very proud to have enabled projects which have:
- Restored natural landscapes
- Protected the historic environment
- Celebrated our heritage
- Supported vulnerable communities
- Improved access
- Engaged more people
