Supporting voluntary organisations

We provide expert advice and direct support to charities and community groups need help with fundraising, marketing and their websites.

We can support you to increase your income generation. We have a deep understanding of the local area and sector, and can support you through every step, from developing your project proposal, to searching for funders and writing grant applications. We can also support with developing your fundraising strategy and diversifying your income.

Our advisors also have experience of supporting you with developing your website and social media presence, marketing strategy and can provide communications and marketing training.

We run quarterly networking events, bringing together third sector partners across North Surrey. These events are a great opportunity to meet people from other organisations who may be facing simliar challenges to your own. They are also a good way to meet local funders and of course our team, who are always on hand to support.

Visit our Events page for the date of our next event.

We also run two sector-specific forums, which also meet quarterly:

• Surrey Heath Mental Health Forum: Anyone who works for an organisation with a connection to mental health is welcome, whether that’s through tackling isolation, age-related mental health or disability. Contact Libby for more details
• Spelthorne Older People’s Forum: The forum attracts professionals from both statutory and voluntary services and is a valuable way for people to connect and share practice and information. Anyone who works for an organisation with a connection to older people (there’s no defined age, but approximately 55+) is welcome, whether their focus is tackling isolation, age-related physical or mental health or another service.
