Voluntree Match Network

Any small or start-up not-for-profit entries can find it difficult to access, or afford, suitable professional advice and support in governance issues such as bookkeeping and accountancy, the legal and contractual aspects of  employing and managing a team and the legal implications of becoming a Limited Company or entering into lease agreements.

Voluntree Match Network aims to address this situation by recruiting a team of volunteers with professional skills that are valuable to the voluntary sector and brokering a match between advisors and organisations that need their particular services.  With the network in its early stages, Fundraising Consultants at Charity Fundraising Ltd are delighted to be working with Voluntree Match Network to identify and explore a range of sources of funding and to recommend a blend of funding from a number of sources to take the network forward to becoming financially self-sustaining.

Hamble Lifeboat is an independent lifeboat charity providing assistance for people in distress on Southampton Water and parts of the Solent, some of the busiest commercial and leisure waters around the UK.
 
Funding Consultants at Charity Fundraising Ltd will be working with Hamble Lifeboat to research potential funding opportunities and draft funding applications in support of a purpose-built replacement lifeboat station.
 
Graham Parker, Director at Charity Fundraising Ltd said; ‘ I respect and have great admiration for the courage of lifeboat men who in a voluntary capacity risk their own lives to save the lives of others. In the case of Hamble Lifeboat the volunteers themselves have to raise all the necessary funding to cover all their costs involved in the provision of their service. I feel proud to announce that the team at Charity Fundraising Ltd has been chosen to work with these courageous people, life boatmen and the trustees of their charity, towards the achievement of a sum in the region of £500,000 to build a sea rescue centre for which they now have planning permission.  It is a privilege to be involved.’
