About David Burland

With nearly 30 years experience in the voluntary sector, I bring vast experience from my fundraising and operational roles, as well as from my time as a Chief Executive, a Trustee and a Director of several charity-related enterprises. 

From 2012 to 2017, I was CEO of Shooting Star Chase, one of the largest children’s hospice services in the UK. During my time there, both of the charity's hospices were awarded ‘Outstanding’ CQC accreditation. We also significantly increased the range of services and numbers of children and families supported.

When I was at Help the Hospices – now Hospice UK – I achieved a six-fold increase in income in just seven years. I later became Deputy CEO with a remit to lead relationships with member hospices. 

Client Feedback

"This was a vital project as we needed to demonstrate to our Board that we could raise the funds required to implement our new organisational strategy. David’s report combined careful analysis and observations with sound arguments and strong evidence. We are very pleased to recommend him to other charities."

Ian Green, Chief Executive, Terrence Higgins Trust

He is a delight to work with and a highly capable consultant. I would strongly recommend David."
