Professional Approach ... We
offer our clients experience, expertise, value for money and
satisfaction. There are
many reasons that an organisation may seek the help of a fundraising
consultancy. They may be at a critical stage of their existence or may
simply be looking to ease the burden on their resources. Whatever the reason, it is essential to appoint experienced
counsel with a client-focused approach. Trinity Centre, Winchester “We needed to raise £2.6 million to build a day centre for homeless people and had no idea where to start when we met Paddy. He soon sorted us out by systemising what we had to do. He learnt all about the charity and what we wanted to do, wrote out our ‘case for support’, helped us with the costings for the project and then worked with us laying out our capital appeal strategy. I was particularly impressed by how he insisted on meeting some of the homeless people themselves on his own and chatting to them about their lives and their issues. He then helped us recruit the lord lieutenant as an appeal patron, a chairman for our appeal committee and then the other members of that committee. This was the cornerstone to the whole appeal and from that time, with Paddy’s advice, we were able to raise the appeal total and build the day centre.”
Martin
House Children’s Hospice, Yorkshire
“As
the Chairman of Martin House I would have no hesitation in recommending
Paddy most warmly. He has
helped us raise essential funds for our Teenage Unit by directing the
appeal that has reached its
£2.2 million target. Apart
from being effective and knowledgeable he is actually, and perhaps more
importantly, a sensitive and understanding individual and this affects
the way he works. He has been most understanding in knowing when to keep
a low profile and in dealing with Martin House he has respected the
wishes of staff, parents and children.” |
