Long-Term Support for Charities, CICs and Community Organisations

Some challenges cannot be solved with a single funding application or one-off project. Our long-term support provides ongoing guidance, practical delivery and strategic thinking to help organisations build confidence, strengthen systems and achieve sustainable growth over time.

Why choose ongoing support?

Long-term support allows us to build a deeper understanding of your organisation, respond to changing priorities and provide practical guidance where it is needed most. Rather than starting from scratch each time, we work alongside you to create lasting progress and sustainable growth.

What Ongoing Support Can Include


What Partnership Can Look Like

Every organisation is different, and so is every partnership.

Some organisations work with us for regular fundraising support, helping to identify opportunities, develop strong applications and build a sustainable funding pipeline. Others need strategic guidance, support through periods of growth, governance advice, leadership mentoring or help strengthening internal systems and processes.

Our role is not to take over. We work alongside you, providing the right level of support at the right time. Sometimes that means acting as a trusted sounding board, sometimes delivering practical pieces of work, and sometimes helping you navigate challenges and make confident decisions.

As your organisation evolves, our support can evolve too, ensuring you always have access to experienced, collaborative expertise without the cost and commitment of building a larger in-house team.

  • Grant and bid writing: support to prepare clear, compelling, well-structured funding applications shaped around each organisation’s voice, purpose, and community.

  • Fundraising strategy and planning: help to explore sustainable ways to strengthen income, review current activity, identify gaps, and shape a long-term plan that aligns with capacity and mission.

  • Leadership coaching and mentoring: confidential mentoring to support leaders through organisational pressure, team challenges, periods of change, or personal doubt.

  • Communications and donor engagement: practical help to strengthen communication with supporters, communities, and donors, including supporter journeys and simple communication plans.

  • Organisational development and governance: grounded, practical support on governance reviews, workflow mapping, role clarity, risk identification, and systems that reduce overwhelm.

  • Training and workshops: tailored, friendly training sessions on fundraising, strategy, communication, planning, and leadership.

  • Impact and evaluation support: help to understand and communicate impact clearly and manageably, including evaluation frameworks and outcomes planning.

  • Consultancy retainers: flexible retainers providing continuity, clarity, and regular guidance across fundraising, leadership, planning, or operational development.

  • A tailored support package for you that could be a combination of any of the areas we provide support

• Ongoing fundraising and bid development
• Strategic planning and organisational development
• Leadership coaching and mentoring

• Systems, processes and operational improvement
