Client feedback

The Brigitte Trust
When Heycroft Consulting first started working with The Brigitte Trust, the charity had experienced a significant downturn in income. I overhauled their fundraising strategy, rewrote their cases for support and approached new funders on both a local and national level. Within 18 months, the charity faced a future with healthy reserves and the financial capability to expand their services. “I am so grateful for the financial benefits that your successful bids have brought for us. This has enabled us to continue providing our core home visiting service, but also we have the opportunity and financial security to expand our service offer, for the benefit of more people who need support.”

The Mortimer Society
As a specialist residential care home charity, The Mortimer Society first approached Heycroft Consulting to launch a capital project to build a new lift. Within a year of the first applications being sent, I had secured the full £360k required for this project to go ahead: “Without your knowledge and input, this lift simply wouldn’t have been built. Thank you.”

Association of British Neurologists
Heycroft Consulting was tasked with securing funds from charitable trusts for the ABN’s Clinical Research Training Fellowship programme. “We greatly value our working relationship and appreciate your professional approach.”

Focus Surrey
Under a one year contract, Heycroft Consulting worked with this small charity supporting autistic children and their families. “Thank you so much for all your help and support! It has been invaluable. I especially appreciated your general charities advice and without all those successful applications we would have had difficulty running at all.” 

Intercountry Adoption Centre (IAC)
The IAC approached Heycroft Consulting to obtain funding towards the expansion of the charity’s Adoption Support Service. Working closely with the CEO, I have secured this funding from a variety of trusts, and I am now working on other support services to benefit adopted children and young people.

Multiple System Atrophy Trust
Heycroft Consulting has worked with this national neurological charity to overhaul their fundraising strategy and charitable trust approaches. “Katie has a great deal of fundraising knowledge…She has a great success rate because she undertakes detailed research, both about the funder she is applying to and also the charity she is supporting. Her focus means she is an absolute asset to anyone wishing to use Heycroft Consulting.”
