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.
Valentine's major appeal and general fundraising experience has been invaluable in supporting both Poole Hospital Charity, the NHS Trust and the Fundraising Team. His collaborative approach to setting up a fundraising campaign helped us to understand and engage more closely with the fundraising process in order to ensure the appeal and its aims are integrated with the trust's strategic direction. Valentine's has helped us to assess our fundraising potential and our long-term structure and plans.
