During the last 25 years I have set up 2 charities and 3 successful social enterprises. I have been the CEO of 3 national charities and a trustee and volunteer for many others.

“Working with Margaret and the team at Communitas Scotland has been a real joy.
Really good when consultants just understand what you need and get it done.”

Ian Bruce, CEOGlasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector

“I worked very closely with Margaret to redesign our services for vulnerable parents at pace. She has a wealth of experience to draw on and just gets what we need.”

Jackie Tolland, CEOParent Network Scotland

“Margaret’s method is very thorough yet flexible, her style informal yet professional, her approach direct yet affable. Her honest and balanced assessment has given us valuable insights and key learning points on how to improve the implementation for the next cohort of the project.”

Monette O'Hara, Director & CoordinatorTripod: Training for Creative Social Action

“Margaret was able to complete the work to a very high standard within a short timescale. The quality of the work was very high and Margaret’s approach was professional throughout the process. Margaret exceeded our expectations and produced a first class piece of research.”
