Clients

Over the years, we have secured millions of pounds for important causes, partnering with charities and not-for-profits to obtain essential funding for organisations of all sizes – national, regional, and local. Here are some examples of the causes, organisations, and sectors we’ve been involved with.

Our fundraising experience spans a wide range of areas including health and disability, advocacy, culture, arts, heritage, education, support for children and young people, and community initiatives.

Barnsley Civic

The Civic, Barnsley is the only contemporary art gallery and theatre of scale within the town. Barnsley Civic exists to provide Barnsley and the surrounding communities with a culturally significant voice. It offers a progressive programme of events, exhibitions and performances that relate to Barnsley’s social, economic and political attitudes whilst also entertaining and encouraging debate. The charity is passionate about people of all ages and backgrounds having access to the best possible arts and cultural experiences on their own doorstep. Good Fundraising have worked with Barnsley Civic for a number of years securing income for their £3 million pound capital refurbishment project, community engagement programmes, developing corporate fundraising plans and creating corporate fundraising collateral.

The Oulton Institute

The Oulton Institute houses a much-loved and well used community hall which was sadly falling into disrepair. After consultation with users, potential users and local residents, Good Fundraising embarked upon a programme of applications to Trusts and Foundations – including landfill tax funders – and were able to raise the funds required to fix the roof, heating, windows, staging and flooring.

It’s an absolute pleasure working with the team at Good Fundraising. They have a pragmatic, practical and strategic approach which is a breath of fresh air! In developing our Fundraising Strategy, they are transforming our approach to the future sustainability of the museum.

Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust have worked with Good Fundraising since 2017. With sound business planning and strategic direction, Good Fundraising has helped lay strong foundations to ensure the long-term sustainability and future growth of the Trust and has seen the funds raised for good causes increase from thousands to hundreds and thousands.

Chair, Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust
Catherine quickly stepped in when we were struggling with capacity on bid writing. She supported us to find new contacts and to write and send out lots of new applications. Her input was essential in keeping us on track during a challenging period of time. Thank you.
Poppy Purvis
Senior Grants Manager
The Management Committee of the Oulton Institute worked with Cath and successfully obtained grants from a number of different sources to supplement a major refurbishment project. Cath helped the Committee to complete the grant applications and also advised of other funding opportunities available. She was professional, thorough and knowledgeable, and helped understand the overall vision for the premises, building on her own experience as a Charity Trustee. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and work with Cath again in the future.

I just wanted to say thank you for the workshop last Thursday. On discussion, we agreed we found it very useful to begin our journey into thinking of fundraising as a strategic activity. The prioritisation and next steps, along with the realism, was particularly helpful to us. Really useful insights and some good ideas to get us started also.

Working with Good Fundraising has transformed our sense of the untapped potential we have to develop financial sustainability. They are approachable, knowledgeable and extremely hard working on our behalf
Rachel Ashton
Artistic Director Theatre Factory
Without Good Fundraising, Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust would struggle to raise funds and wouldn’t be good. The expertise, empathy, and skills that Good Fundraising bring to the table will always ensure that the table will never be bare and that indeed the table with sometimes groan under the weight of the funds raised through Good Fundraising’s efforts.
Ian McMillan
Poet and Trustee of Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust
In 2022, Good Fundraising Company worked closely with our whole team to review out fundraising potential as a museum service and at the individual site level. The process got colleagues involved in thinking this through, and the final report has provided us with a tremendously insightful and powerful case for change in how we approach fundraising. One major outcome has been the setting up of a development trust, part of the wider development trust, part of a wider development plan born out of the review. I highly recommend Cath and the team at Good Fundraising Company – they were a joy to work with.
