"Having worked with Gareth before, I knew about his knowledge and track record of success - and his commitment to quality. Bringing him into my new charity has made a profound impact already, in a very short amount of time  – with his work securing us a £40k grant, first and foremost! 

Gareth’s experience can not only help you directly with bids and asks but leave you with top-notch writing to work from in the future: it’s a long-lasting benefit."

"Gareth identified a total 'blind spot' for us, and in doing so, we’ll now be building a whole new funding ask that is likely to help us fund work that we’ve traditionally struggled to fund. Gareth is brilliant – he was direct and to the point in his feedback when we initially spoke. He then followed this up with detailed notes and observations to help us implement, learn from and develop what he’d shared with us. If you need someone who’s worked in charity fundraising for many years, has worked with some of the biggest national funders, and has secured significant sums – then he’s your person."

"In an incredibly short space of time Gareth picked up what we do, why we do it and how we can make some strategic, cultural and tactical changes to position ourselves better and secure new income for us and our community partners. Cannot recommend him highly enough."

"I would recommend Quiet Fundraising to all bid writers. I spent the day with Gareth going through documents I had prepared for a big funder, and he was absolutely brilliant. He helped me align my message, create consistency, make some parts that were not clear stronger, and he identified gaps and better still, gave me suggestions on what I needed to do to tie up the separate parts into one coherent strategy. I know I have submitted a bid that I am proud of. I will be using Quiet Fundraising again in the future. "
