Friends of Wandsworth Park

Harry worked with the Elephant Protection Initiative Foundation (EPIF) during a critical period of organisational growth and change. He led the formal transfer of accounts and staff from Stop Ivory to EPIF, managing the process in line with TUPE regulations to ensure continuity and protection of employee rights. From a financial perspective, Harry implemented a cloud-based accounting system including staff cost allocation models, budgeting frameworks, and multi-year funding gap analyses, which enabled the organisation to make more informed decisions and engage more effectively with donors. In parallel, Harry developed the organisation’s operational infrastructure – introducing core HR systems, staff policies, and compliance processes – positioning EPIF to manage a growing portfolio of complex, multi-country, donor-funded projects.
