We provide charities and 'for impact' organisations with proactive, strategic fundraising resources at times of increased need. Working closely with the CEO, Founder or Senior Leadership team, we help you achieve greater social and community impact. In demonstrating why your work is important and highlighting how it aligns with trusts' or supporters' own values, we persuade funders from appropriate sources, to lend their support. We work to secure funding from local, regional, national and statutory funders to suit the capital, project or core funding requirements our clients have.
Times are tough and fundraisers are being tested. The charity sector continues to deliver its essential services to some of the worst affected by the cost-of-living crisis, as it was compelled to do under enormous pressure during the global pandemic. Funders moved mountains to accommodate the dramatic changes in how services were delivered and grassroots organisations provided an invaluable lifeline between central, regional, and local authorities.
Post pandemic, many funders have paused and rewritten their own strategies, as a result of their learning. This has prompted some long term sector leaders such as the Foyle Foundation to pay out their entire remaining funds, so great is the need, right now for humanity.
Sector expertise saves valuable resource in knowing how to negotiate the crowded and changing landscape .

The greater part of Ciara's fundraising experience and success has been for arts, music, and mental health charities.
