About Bushra

I am an experienced charity sector leader, recently profiled in the Charity Times, named as one of the “15 most inspiring leaders” to look out for in 2022.

I started as a activist and campaigner, known as “West Croydon Voice” and was successful in getting millions of pounds in compensation for the 2011 Croydon Riots victims, which included my own family.

I have used the networking and learning gathered on that journey, along with over 20 years experience in the voluntary sector as a strategic community consultant.

I have assisted civil sector, non-profit organisations, individuals and charities to optimise their growth and impact, through strategy, fundraising, volunteering, marketing, digital and comms.

I have in-depth knowledge and grassroots experience around issues relating to social injustice including poverty, youth violence and domestic abuse.

My particular expertise is in building community cohesion and family resilience, also empowering women, through the lens of asset-based community development.

I’m passionate about increasing diversity, inclusion, equity, and equality, through changing cultures of non-profit and corporate boards, to better serve the communities they represent.

My lived-experience and commitment to values of integrity and honesty are the foundations to my common sense approach.

That is what drives the roles I take and informs the speaking/training I deliver around community fundraising, cultural intelligence and awareness.
