Biography
I am an
independent researcher and consultant in the third sector.
I have been a trustee of a grant-making endowed charitable foundation, chief executive of an educational charity, and as a civil servant led implementation of key funding elements of the 2002 Treasury Cross Cutting Review into the role of the voluntary and community sector in the delivery of public services.
As an associate of Grant Thornton Consultancy I co-authored a report into the social and economic benefits of compact working for the Commission for the Compact. I have a degree (in scots and english) law from the University of Dundee and have further graduate and post-graduate degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Leeds.
I hold a law society accredited certificate in mediation. In 2008 I set up Sperant Associates to help third sector organisations to improve their strategy and effectiveness.
