St George's Hub // Hands-on Fundraising

St George's is a old client, for whom we provided both strategic and fundraising support over 18 years.

The charity operates a drop-in centre for vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Wolverhampton. Our support included facilitating the production of a development plan, researching funders, producing the case for support and helping to generate funding bids.

Over the years, we helped to raise over £1 million for the charity, mainly from charitable trusts and the National Lottery. This mostly consisted of revenue funding to cover the staffing and running costs of existing work, as well as raising the funds needed for the charity to buy its own premises.

St George's Chief Executive Fazia Bano says: "As a small charity, we do not need an in-house fundraiser and certainly could not afford one. By working with WGC, we were able to buy in just the amount of help we needed, as well as benefitting from their skills and experience. This has proven to be a very cost-effective way of developing our charity. We would happily recommend them to others."
