SPECIFIC SUPPORT
We support charities and schools in a variety of ad hoc ways. Bid-writing, fundraising reviews, prospect research, training and short-term staff cover are some of the activities that we are called in for.
Outsourcing a fundraising activity is also becoming increasingly popular. With office costs averaging approximately £5,000 per annum per employee, you will likely find that it is more effective, both in costs and income-generation, to use outside support.

FUNDRAISING EXPERTISE AT APPRENTICE-LEVEL PRICES
We typically operate four-person teams when undertaking long-term assignments. The team leader will have operated at director level and be joined by a manager and two executive-level staff. This works out far cheaper and more effective for you than employing individual employees or consultants.
