Our Fundraising Roots

Orchard Fundraising was founded in 2016 to give charities access to the knowledge, strategy and practical support they need to grow. We believed, and still do, that the best fundraising blends planning with action, bringing together insight and delivery to achieve real, lasting results. What started as a team of two has grown organically into a network of consultants and fundraising specialists supporting charities nationwide to create lasting change.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with charities of every size – from small community organisations to large national institutions – across sectors, including health, education, heritage, environment, the arts, faith, and social welfare. What matters most to us is the difference our clients make – in communities, in people’s lives, and in causes close to their hearts. We’re proud to help grow the support that makes that possible.

The Orchard Fundraising Way

At the heart of Orchard Fundraising is a belief that fundraising grows from the ground up – rooted in care, nourished by expertise, and nurtured over time to create lasting impact. We take the time to understand what makes your charity unique, shaping thoughtful, achievable fundraising that reflects your values and strengthens your long-term sustainability.

Our Approach

Every charity is unique, so we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions. We start with listening and learning, then shape support that’s right for your needs – from building a trust pipeline, to writing strong bids, to developing major donor relationships and strategies.

Our Team

Behind Orchard is a group of highly experienced fundraisers who combine specialist knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach. What unites us is a commitment to working alongside you, taking the pressure off, and helping you achieve the income and impact you need.

Our Impact

The real measure of our work is the results we help our clients achieve. From securing major grants to developing long-term fundraising strategies, we’re proud to have supported organisations making a difference in communities across the UK and beyond.

Careers

We’re always keen to hear from fundraisers who share our ethos of care, clarity and practical action. If you’re looking for flexible consultancy opportunities or want to be part of our growing team, we’d love to hear from you.
