My name is Ian Sansbury, an experienced charity leader, strategist, and impact, fundraising, and finance professional. Welcome to Adpulsum Consulting, a consultancy dedicated to helping charity founders and leaders to achieve scale - transforming passion into purpose and purpose into impact.
Adpulsum is an innovative and passion-fuelled charity consultancy. My name is Ian Sansbury, an experienced charity leader with extensive experience in driving charity growth and transformation - through great strategy, theory of change, effective outcome measurement and carefully targeted trust and major donor fundraising. I'm a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). I also have degrees in Marketing and History and a deep love of writing, whether it’s crafting a fundraising application, writing a strategy paper, or working on the historical novel that's itching to get out of my head.
I have extensive experience in strategy and impact-led transformation within small and medium-sized charities, particularly in the mental health, education, and community development sectors. My consultancy model is based on an innovative combination of theory of change, strategy and outcome measurement that I've honed over many years in the sector. I have a particular passion for nature- and activity-based approaches to health and wellbeing, but I am very confident that the strategies and models I've honed over the years can help any charity in any sector to prosper and grow.
I have been described as a systems thinker, innovator, and change agent, and I am at my passionate best collaborating with others to scale great ideas that can maximise positive social change. Drop me a line today – I'd love to discuss how I can support your charity.
Why Adpulsum? Well, it means impact in Latin. Not impact like hitting something with a hammer, but more in the sense of driving with passion and purpose towards a desired set of outcomes. That's what I strive to achieve through Adpulsum - helping charity leaders to transform passion into purpose and purpose into impact.
