Why us?

Founded by professional colleagues with over 20 years’ experience of working in the charity sector, we have a unique insight into what makes a great campaign. We know how to attract the best fundraisers, source venues that will deliver the number and quality of supporters you require and understand how to manage our business in adherence with strict compliance and quality guidelines in line with the Fundraising Regulator and Chartered Institute of Fundraising best practice.

Our fundraising team is at the heart of our business

We are proud to be part of the Living Wage movement as an accredited Living Wage Employer. This means that every member of staff in our organisation earns not just the minimum wage but the real Living Wage. The Living Wage is an hourly rate set independently and updated annually, based on the cost of living in the UK.

We believe that every member of staff deserves a Living Wage, because a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.

All new fundraisers joining us receive 3 days of classroom and practical training specifically tailored to your campaign, focusing on you, our client, compliance and best fundraising practice in line with CIoF guidelines and policy.

We understand the importance of being great ambassadors for your charity, so fundraisers are supported by ongoing one to one in-field coaching and mentoring, and further training if necessary, to ensure all meet our exacting standards.

Our aim is to create an enthused, committed long term supporter so we ensure our fundraisers have the necessary skills to engage with confidence, communicate effectively, are compliant and a passionate advocate for your campaign.

Our commercial proposition is simple.

We provide a straightforward cost-per-acquisition (CPA) model with no hidden costs with the security of an agreed attrition guarantee.

Should new materials be required, the cost of design and creation of, for example, stands, banners, gazebos, would be discussed and agreed beforehand. You have oversight and control of the design and production and we can introduce you to our creative and fulfilment partners who will work closely with you to ensure projects are delivered on brand, on budget and to your brief.

As an organisation, we are heavily compliance and quality driven and we believe the best way to ensure quality outcomes is for our fundraisers to be employed.
