Interim & Consultancy

Free Consultation Strategy Session

No obligation. Just actionable insight.

We start with a complimentary 45-minute strategy session with a senior fundraising professional who understands the unique pressures UK charities are facing—from donor fatigue to funding diversification.

  • Review your current approach to fundraising and income generation

  • Identify missed opportunities across major gifts, trusts, digital, and supporter journeys

  • Receive a short, practical report with clear, tailored recommendations

  • Includes optional follow-up with no obligation to proceed

Whether you need a fresh pair of eyes or you're planning for a major transition, this session offers high-impact value with zero commitment.

Project-Based Support

Targeted solutions with defined results.

If you’re launching a specific campaign or fixing a single gap, we offer fixed-scope, high-impact project delivery designed around your timelines and budget.

  • Common areas we support include:

  • Major gift strategy and donor journey design

  • Trust and foundation bid support (including case for support development)

  • New donor programme launches or lapsed donor reactivation

Clear pricing.

Fixed deliverables.

No hidden costs.

Ideal for overstretched teams needing specialist input without a long-term tie-in.

Long-Term Partnership

Your external fundraising department.

For organisations seeking sustained growth or going through transition, our retained support model offers comprehensive, embedded consultancy for less than the cost of a single hire.

  • Monthly strategic planning with an assigned lead consultant

  • Access to campaign experts, bid writers, interim fundraising leaders, and trainers

  • Regular board/stakeholder reporting and team coaching

This is more than consultancy—it’s an extension of your team, with senior-level support, hands-on delivery, and a flexible mix of skills that evolves with your needs.

Ongoing support = reduced fundraising churn, better leadership engagement, and stronger ROI across all income streams.
