Quotes:

Her expertise and knowledge in supporting me with my application was excellent. Ruth is quick to respond, has good communication skills, is highly articulate, flexible and does a great job."

Griselda, York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Ruth took on a contract for the Arts Team at York and Scarborough Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and delivered admirably in a multiplex of schemes, from a wide brief, to support funding our arts and environment programmes. She enabled us not just to think about the brief, but give us a wider vision in terms of the wealth of resources provided, securing us funding and giving guidance along the way. I always enjoy meeting with Ruth as she has a great level of expertise, experience and a great sense of humour (required in the complexities of the NHS) in her field but also has a passion for fundraising and understanding the Arts and the aims, benefits and joys it can bring. I would definitely recommend her services and give many thanks always.
