FEASIBILITY STUDY
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Trust were in the development stage of a £120 million capital development across their nine hospitals in Bristol. The Trust hoped to raise at least £10 million of this target through its supporting charities, which include three, major local and national charities.
Concerned with the possibility of the charities competing against each other the Trust commissioned a feasibility study to look at how the charities were perceived locally and to assess the potential of collaboration or shared working in support of the campaign
Client’s feedback
The Trust needed an independent and experienced consultant to undertake a sensitive piece of work on our behalf. Valentine did an excellent job. He went about the study in a thoroughly professional manner and produced a report that informed the executive across a range of decisions with regard to our charity fundraising potential.
At a time the fundraising department was very short staff Valentine assisted in recruiting senior key posts. His insightful questions and strong all round knowledge of our needs helped us pick the right candidates. Six months on we could not have chosen a better team - the new structure is really working and we are already seeing an increase in fundraising income
