Churches, Cathedrals & Religion
 
Craigmyle working with Religious organisations

"I think it is fair to say that the Chapter cannot speak too highly of Craigmyle. In my view Craigmyle listened to us, looked carefully at how we operate, and the service provided was geared to our needs. The Dean and Chapter, and I have no hesitation in recommending Craigmyle as consultants capable of assisting in any major appeal."

Chester Cathedral

We have worked for more than 30 Cathedrals, 90 parish churches and a wide variety of religious organisations. Recent and current clients include:

Southwark Cathedral Southwark Cathedral won a 50% Millennium Commission grant for a major £10.5 million capital redevelopment programme. We worked with the Cathedral to raise the balance required over the 2 year campaign. Major Gifts fundraising was a key element in the strategy and Charitable Trusts results were particularly impressive.
The Prayer Book Society The Prayer Book Society needed an endowment fund of at least £250,000 to secure its work for the future. We provided a short-term consultancy service which helped the Society establish its case, identify potential supporters and organise face-to-face personal "asks" and specialised mailings. We are continuing to advise the Society on a legacy fundraising strategy.
Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology The Institute provides theological training for Catholic laywomen, equipping them for a wide variety of working roles within the Catholic Church. We provided a consultancy service to develop a strategy to raise the £1.8 million needed to buy the Institute's building, Lady Margaret House.
Pathfinder Fellowship The Fellowship promotes the practice and study of the Christian faith to young people. We undertook a feasibility study to assess potential for a capital campaign and advised the Fellowship on an appropriate longer-term sustainable fundraising strategy.
The Church of England Youth Campaign We have supported the development of a national major gifts campaign on behalf of young people. This has led to a pilot of a Youth Evangelism Fund and the establishment of a programme to pump-prime 100 new Church Secondary Schools.
St. Chad’s RC Cathedral Birmingham St. Chad’s was the first Cathedral to be built after Catholic Emancipation and was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin in 1839. We are managing the Campaign to develop the crypt to provide a visitor centre and exhibition space to display the important collection of religious artefacts dating from the 15th Century. Other projects include sympathetic decoration and lighting in the Cathedral interior and the start of an endowment fund.

Catholic Central Library
After many years beside Westminster Cathedral, the Library was saved from dissolution by a board of Trustees. Currently the Library is looking for a new home and is renting space near the British Library in St. Pancras. Craigmyle has been providing strategic advice which will include preparing a report on the feasibility of raising a substantial sum to purchase and convert an eventual property.
