Positivity and enthusiasm are my superpowers.
I am also very honest. If I don't think I can help you, I will say so.
I will ask a lot of questions, sometimes difficult questions that can feel like a challenge.
I will work with you to reflect deeply and with compassion, always committed to doing the best for the communities you serve.
If this sounds like an approach you would appreciate, then get in touch.

Dr Jahan Foster Zabit, Senior Research at the Race Equality Foundation:
"In my capacity as Senior Researcher at the Race Equality Foundation, I have worked with Hannah Kowszun on a number of occasions, largely in the preparation of research funding bids. Her approach has always been constructive, providing useful insight into policy context, existing research and the needs of funding bodies. This has supported us to produce high quality proposals that have efficiently captured the needs of our organisation in a timely and efficient manner. I would recommend Hannah to any person or organisation."
Lucy Littlewood, Director at St-Martin-in-the-Fields Trust:
"Hannah was a joy to work with and all the staff and Trustees very much enjoyed her approach, positivity and creative structure. She smoothly took trustees out of their comfort zone which they really enjoyed. She brought insight, expertise and knowledge of the sector, current trends and ways of working demonstrating an excellent understanding of human nature. I look forward to organising a follow up day – and my Trustees are very keen! I would certainly work with her again and recommend to others."
Chine McDonald, Director at Theos:
"Hannah provided a vital fundraising consultation piece for my organisation, which will inform the future of our organisational strategy. Hannah had a positive, honest, constructive and passionate approach, and really worked hard to get under the skin of the organisation. I really valued Hannah's specialist knowledge, strategy development, workshop delivery and experience. I would highly recommend Hannah to others."
Anam Azeem, Fundraising Apprentice:
"Hannah is an excellent coach whose guidance was instrumental to my success during my apprenticeship. From the very beginning of my journey, Hannah demonstrated the ability to make complex ideas approachable while offering a comprehensive understanding of Fundraising. Her invaluable knowledge provided me with the tools I needed to excel in the field, and her words of wisdom and encouragement inspired me to challenge myself.
What makes Hannah stand out is not just her expertise but also her friendly and approachable nature. She created an open environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and seeking advice, which made the learning process both enjoyable and effective. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to achieve a distinction which is a true testament to the impact of her coaching. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as my coach and I can’t recommend her enough!"
Laurence Manley, Fundraising Apprentice:
"Hannah has the magic ability to know how to solve a problem before it comes up and act on it sensitively with care. I wish there was a Hannah Kowszun in every organisation, who with good humour and professionalism, helped me work through the final part of my course."
Jack Garfinkel, Content Designer:
"Hannah is enthusiastic, insightful, honest and a joy to work with. Her sense of purpose and drive never stop her from listening. Working with her is always a happy and productive experience – we consistently ended up with content which was better thanks to her contribution."
I have worked in charities for nearly 20 years and volunteered for most of my life. I am passionate about positive social impact: helping where I can and amplifying the myriad efforts of others to make the world a better place.
I have a daughter who is the most beautiful person on this earth! She has a disability, which gives me even more incentive to create a better future for her and others like her.
