Essex charity for people with drug and alcohol problems approached eg: consulting seeking advice and action to diversify its income base away from its reliance on statutory funding, and to develop new project and media work.

The consultancy has focused on helping the charity develop to the next level, generate new project funding streams from grant-making trusts, with sustained and imaginative media and campaign work.

Over £400,000 has been raised in less than a year for new work with stimulant users, building improvements and a highly innovatory family learning programme for clients.

 

 

The charity has been successful in raising its profile and engaging energetically with new supporters and local leaders including MPs.

In November 2007 eg: consulting lead on a major e-viral campaign and helped the charity to ‘win’ almost £49,000 in the People’s Millions for improved centre facilities.


In 2008 the consultancy is focusing on two major appeals: £500k for a new building in Braintree to expand service provision and revenue funding of £150k for new alcohol advisers.
