We’ve helped charities and not-for-profits secure millions of pounds in funding to deliver real change. From local community organisations to regional and national charities, our work supports vital services, strengthens sustainability, and brings ambitious projects to life.

Our experience spans a wide range of sectors, including health and disability, advocacy, arts and culture, heritage, education, children and young people’s services, and community initiatives each driven by a shared commitment to making a lasting difference.

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.

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.
Paul Jagger
Chair, Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust
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.

I can’t thank you enough for your support, encouragement, patience, wisdom and insight. We are already benefiting from your input, not just by your creative solutions, but by your use-able strategic approach.
Sam Mason
CEO, HART UK
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.
Ron Walker
Honorary Treasurer management Committee of the Oulton Institute
Working with Good Fundraising has helped us to turn our small charity into a successful and integral part of the community. They have been instrumental in bringing our 70-year-old organisation up to today’s expectations and standards. We have found them extremely professional and effective with extensive knowledge of the market and the details of funders’ objectives.

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.
Kate Hughes
Visitor Experience and Learning Manager, Green Estate CIC
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.
David Hopes
