Success Stories

Examples of latest results for clients include:

£234,000 raised for the RSPCA for education work in Sussex. This was a complex major bid, where our consultant worked closely with the charity on the development of the project and prepared the bid to Natural England's Access to Nature programme. The client commented, "We're over the moon here! Can't quite believe it still!"

Headway, the brain injury association, has now received £3 million in legacies as a result of the campaign we devised in 2002. The campaign, which took the theme "Your gift - their future" and used legacy champions Bill and Ann Hurley to encourage other supporters to join them in leaving a legacy. The campaign was supported by legacy literature and the Headway website and aimed to support both the local Headway branches and its central UK operations. Our Director, Simon George, who planned the campaign, said: "This is a great example of how a legacy campaign, given time, can make a big difference to a charity's income. The return on investment on this low cost campaign has also been stunning, perhaps as much as 100:1."

The Museum of Science and Industry has recently received a grant of £125,000 from a major trust as a result of work we carried out for the Museum's building redevelopment programme. Other results for this appeal are also pending.
