I'm Kate, a facilitator, researcher, and consultant with over 17 years of experience in community development.

I specialise in community-led approaches – work that's grounded in local knowledge, built on trust, and supports long-term change.

I partner with communities, organisations, and government to strengthen how they work together, make decisions, and build their own capacity for action.

I offer strategic advice and practical support — this might be of interest if you're:

Engaging with your community or stakeholders – to understand priorities, perspectives, and concerns

Bringing people together – across sectors, organisations, or perspectives to build shared understanding

Looking for hands-on help – to move a project forward, improve systems, or get things done

Strengthening your organisation – through governance support, strategic advice, or capability building

Trying to understand your context – through research, consultation, or mapping what's happening locally

Building long-term sustainability – through funding strategy, partnerships, or community-owned approaches
