The most important thing a consultant should do is to give realistic advice. We will tell you what we believe is possible, not what we think you would like to hear. We will give you an estimate, based on 40 years practical experience, of what you can raise. We will tell you how you can do it and the resources you will need.
 
You need someone who understands your particular and unique needs so that the fundraising approach is entirely appropriate for your organisation. Our staff have wide experience of working with clients in all not-for-profit sectors and for us your project is not just a contract, but a commitment based on a real understanding of your needs.

Whilst we make full use of proven methodologies, we do not impose template solutions.  Equally, we ensure that the proposed strategy is robust, flexible and appropriate.

Developing a strategy is important but is only half the battle. You want someone who will also help you to get the job done. We provide the hands-on skills where you need them, when you need them.

How do we actually work? Here are some of the things we would expect to do in a typical campaign:

	prepare a detailed strategy and action plan for the work/campaign
	help with the recruitment of campaign leadership
	guide all stages of the fundraising effort from start to finish with outline and detailed timetables
	design and produce campaign literature, including brochures and leaflets
	train, equip and enable volunteer leadership
	provide expert advice on tax matters
	provide regular reports on progress and solutions to strategic or practical problems.

The four members of our Senior Management team, the Consultants we have trained and deployed across the UK, combined with the specialist services of the four members of our Head Office Support Services provide strength in depth not found in one-person operations.
 
Much of our work comes through referrals from satisfied clients. Do not take our word for it - we encourage you to verify our track record.
