HERE FOR EVERY STEP

Over 15 years’ experience helping charities grow digitally.

As The Charity Consultant, I partner with growing charities that are ready to take a more strategic approach to their growth and long-term vision.

My support is practical, straightforward and always delivered in plain English - no jargon, no fluff, just clear advice and actionable support to help your charity move forward.

About Grant Jennings

Hello I'm Grant Jennings; The Charity Consultant.

Having grown Creative Blend, a digital marketing and website agency based in Brighton since 2012, it was time for a new challenge.

For more than 20 years, I've worked with organisations of all sizes to help them grow, communicate more effectively and make better decisions.

Over the past decade, much of that work has been with charities, membership organisations and purpose-led businesses, giving me a real appreciation for the challenges charities face every day.

TRUSTEE role

Being a trustee has shaped my approach.

Alongside running Creative Blend, I've also been a trustee of Whoopsadaisy Brighton for a number of years. Being on both sides of the table - as a trustee and as someone supporting charities professionally - has given me a practical understanding of the pressures involved in running a charity.

From limited resources and competing priorities to governance, fundraising and digital transformation, I understand that good intentions alone aren't always enough. Charities also need clear plans, achievable goals and the confidence to make decisions. I created The Charity Consultant to offer exactly that.

About Grant Jennings

My approach.

My approach is straightforward and collaborative. I work with charity leaders and trustees to help them step back from the day-to-day, clarify where they want to go and put practical plans in place to get there. That might involve developing a strategy, improving digital systems, reviewing marketing, creating clearer processes or simply providing an experienced sounding board.

I don't believe in jargon, complicated frameworks or consultancy for consultancy's sake. My role is to bring clarity, structure and accountability, while helping charities make the most of the people, resources and opportunities they already have.I'm passionate about helping charities grow sustainably so they can reach more people and make an even greater impact.

Outside of work, I'm a husband and dad, and I'm a firm believer that the best partnerships are built on trust, honesty and keeping things human values that sit at the heart of both Creative Blend and The Charity Consultant.
