Business development consultancy for charities and social enterprises
Welcome to The Round House. I’m Ceri, a Business Development Consultant based in beautiful West Wales. I work with charities, social enterprises, and community groups to secure funding, develop financial confidence, and plan for sustainable growth.
Over the past few years, I’ve helped organisations achieve significant results - securing vital grants, building strong funding relationships, and successfully delivering projects that make a real difference in their communities. Whether you’re tackling a specific challenge or looking to strengthen your organisation’s future, I bring the expertise and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.
At The Round House, I combine experience from both the private and third sectors with a clear and collaborative approach. Built on trust, reliability, and empathy, my work is about empowering organisations to overcome challenges and focus on what they do best - creating positive change.
If your organisation needs support to grow, adapt, or better tell its story, I’d love to hear from you.

My business development experience is drawn from both the private and third sector, having worked with global corporations, national charities, and local community organisations. This diverse background gives me a unique perspective on creating effective strategies, building relationships, and achieving measurable results.
Over the years, I’ve built a strong track record in successful fundraising, including trusts and foundations, European funding, national government and local council grants, corporate sponsorship, and community fundraising.
My approach is always tailored to the specific needs of each organisation, helping their stories resonate with funders and stakeholders.
Outside of my work, my family is at the heart of everything I do. We share our lives with Pearl, our kindly lurcher, and Olive, a striking cat who occasionally graces us with her presence. Campervan adventures around the Pembrokeshire coast and a love of world travel bring us together. I believe a good life is built on connection, a sense of curiosity, and the determination to keep showing up, even on the hard days!
