About Sow Consultancy

Hi, my name is Luke Goss and I founded Sow Consultancy in 2020. I spent 15 years in positions of senior leadership within the not for profit sector, from head of fundraising to local community organiser to CEO of a national charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers. I now focus on empowering and equipping charities, businesses, individuals and trusts seeking to make a social impact and bring positive transformation to the world.
The world is full of complex and challenging issues, but it is also full of innovative, creative and generous changemakers like you. Sow Consultancy exists to help amplify and broaden your impact. Offering strategic services as a freelance consultant I would love to hear from you, please do get in touch.

Testimonies
“I have been working with Luke for the last few years and can whole heartedly recommend his work. Luke is always thorough in his approach to the work that we have asked him to do for Property Trust charity; his explanations and recommended actions are always clear and well within the timescale asked for. Luke is always calm and confident and has helped our Board to shape some of their vision and mission”. Julie Turner, Board Member of Property Trust (a grant giving trust currently in formation)
“His communication was always succinct, clear and insightful. The empathy he displayed for the services of our charity ensured that his interactions with others created a compelling intrigue in them as to how they could work with us.” Mike Davies, Chair of Open Homes (a youth homelessness charity)
“Luke is a high-skilled operator with vast experience in the voluntary and community sector I was fortunate enough to learn from him about his experiences of developing strong relationships with community partners and how he had re-shaped the engagement strategy for a previous employer. In his time at Citizens, Luke brought his exemplary relational skills to bear, alongside his passion and drive for social justice. I thoroughly recommend Luke as someone of admirable character and high professional skills.” Pete Rogers, Community Organiser, Citizens UK
"It has been a joy to work with Luke as we have successfully established ourselves as a new national charity. He is open and able to quickly get to the heart of the matter. His wisdom and insight has made a big difference to what i61m has become. He initially used his experience in the faith sector to help us connect with dozens of churches from across the UK, vital in helping us build a solid base of partnership. He then went on to help oversee our trust and foundations grant fundraising process. He brings with him significant contacts and experience in grant fundraising, helping us to apply for over £250,000 worth of support. Luke is a great communicator and really easy to work with as a consultant. He is professional, strategic and above all passionate. He has added so much to our work, his fifteen years of experience in charity growth, strategy and fundraising is making a real difference as we establish ourselves as a national charity. I would heartily recommend his services!" Dr John Kirkby CBE, 3 times winner Sunday Times Best Leader, Honorary Doctor of Bradford University & Founder of Christians Against Poverty and i61m
