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.

The Theatre Factory

Theatre Factory is a production led creative company. They make stories in many forms: theatre (indoors and out), animation, digital and sound. Theatre Factory are community led, making stories in collaboration with children, young people, and adults, whose ideas are at the heart of everything they do. Theatre Factory share stories locally and regionally from their home in Barrow-in-Furness and help to nurture emerging local artists. They support children and young people to develop their creativity, grow talent and provide career pathways, as well as empowering future generations to play an active role in shaping the culture and heritage of the borough and beyond. Good Fundraising were employed to carry out a comprehensive bespoke fundraising review which took 6 months and involved in depth consultations with all stakeholders. Copies of the review were supplied for all board members and have helped shaped strategic decisions. Following on from our bespoke review work, Good Fundraising have completed many trust and foundations applications for Theatre Factory, securing core income for the charity and supporting them with their fundraising plans for their exciting IF! Festival. We have also worked with Theatre Factory helping them develop a Corporate Fundraising strategy. Read More

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.

Poet and Trustee of Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust
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.

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.

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.
