Fundraising can be a daunting path to travel.
We're here to walk alongside you

No matter how experienced you are, or how far along in your fundraising journey, there will come a time when you find yourself saying “I’m not sure” or “I need help”.

This is especially true at a time when, with increased need and increased competition for funding, the pressure on fundraisers to succeed has never been greater.

Against this backdrop it can feel like the weight of your organisation is on our shoulders.

We’re here to lighten the load.

We can be there to give you a second opinion or an external perspective.

We can provide friendly and constructive challenge to ensure you’re on the right path.

We can provide a spare pair of hands or a fresh pair of eyes.

Or we can simply be there to help you think through what you need to do next.

This page is for you if you’ve found yourself thinking:

I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not
I’m not sure how to approach this donor
I’m not sure if we’re doing this right
I’m not sure how to respond to this challenge
I’m not sure how to respond to this opportunity

Whatever the challenge, we can provide flexible, friendly support to help you move forward with confidence

Insightful and Practical

I just wanted to say thanks so much for our consultation. I found your advice extremely insightful, helpful, and most importantly, practical! You left me with a great deal to think about and with some great action points to put into practice as soon as possible.

Experience and Expertise

I don’t know how you’ve managed it, but you have brought out the confidence of the development team, and you’ve also been such a support to us all in this tricky period. Your experience and expertise are hugely impressive. How do you manage to understand an organisation so quickly? It’s such a skill!”

Creative and Achievable

David has a wealth of experience and gives really practical and creative advice. He really understands the pressures and challenges teams face in the sector, so his solutions are genuinely effective and achievable.

Here are some of the ways we can help:

Interim Support

Sometimes you need an extra pair of hands to come in and steady the ship. Whether it's bridging the gap while you recruit a new member of staff, or simply providing short-term additional capacity, we can provide flexible staff support. Previous Interim Roles have included Interim Head of Fundraising at Royal Pavilion & Museums, Interim Director of Fundraising at Spitalfields Music and Interim Head of Fundraising at Dulwich Picture Gallery

Proposal Review Service

With competition for funding at an all time high you want to be sure your proposal is giving your organisation the best chance of success. But, with feedback hard to come by, how do you know if your proposal is pulling its weight? Our Proposal Review Service gives you the chance to get useful feedback on your proposal before you click submit.

Other Print and Copy Review

It's not just funding proposals we can review and provide feedback on. From membership leaflets to campaign material, online fundraising copy to corporate sponsorship packs, legacy marketing material to thank you letters we can cast an expert eye over your copy and identify any opportunities for improvement.

Flexible Support

Sometimes the support you need will be more "ad hoc", with confidence coming from knowing there is a friendly, knowledgeable person at the end of the phone who can help you as needs arise. Whether it's through regular catch-ups or more sporadic requests for support we can help you respond to challenges and opportunities as they present themselves.

Could you benefit from an extra pair of eyes, ears or hands?
