What clients have said about us over the years

“Craigmyle worked with us alongside a range of other specialists to prepare and submit a major £17.7 million capital Levelling up Fund application to UK Government. This was a very complex scheme and application process, which required working together across a wide range of professional disciplines and under significant time pressure. Craigmyle were highly professional, competent and responsive throughout, and ultimately delivered the goods as we acquired the whole funding that we were seeking. We are currently working with them again on a related project.” Pembrokeshire County Council

“Sian has become an established member of the FAB team working closely with its chair to the benefit of the charity.  Her guidance, professionalism and delivery are highly valued, and an important part of our growth plan.” Clive Fisher – Chair of Fight Against Blindness

“We found ourselves facing a very uncertain future before we contacted Craigmyle, but working with them  has unlocked the direction forward. By conducting a strategic review and implementing a methodology for succession planning, fundraising, programme and organisational development, they have greatly helped us along the road to resilience and future sustainability. A steep learning curve for the Trustees, but an essential one!” Peter Harrison – Founder, Grayshott Concerts

“We were immensely fortunate to have Christine from Craigmyle managing our capital fundraising campaign.  We had an ambitious target, but she led us to success with energy, clarity and determination. I recommend Craigmyle unreservedly.”  Lucy Elphinstone, Headmistress, Francis Holland School, Sloane Square

“Craigmyle were a vital part of our project’s success. Without their help we would have struggled to secure the significant grants required as match funding for our National Lottery Heritage Fund Round two application. Together, we’ve reached our target, ensuring the restoration and preservation of our world-famous stained glass. “ All Saints Church North Street York

“I was looking for someone who had the ability to hit the ground running. Their contribution has been reassuring and was priceless. 60% of our income comes from trusts and livery companies. We would have had a six-month hiatus in fundraising and we might have been unable to meet some of our commitments, but that has not happened. Keeping in touch with our long-term funders has been even more important during the pandemic to ensure they recognise how we are adapting our services.” Annette Fettes, CEO – St Andrew’s Club

“I wanted to let you know how grateful we are and to extend my congratulations on Craigmyle’s 60th Anniversary.” Ed Stourton, Chairman of the Development Appeal – The Tablet

“Craigmyle’s expertise and experience has been invaluable in ensuring a dynamic and effective fundraising strategy.” Malcolm Reid, Church warden – St Alfege Church, Greenwich

“This is a really exciting opportunity for the Settlement and securing support from the Mayor’s Skills for Londoners Capital Fund is a vital part for the projects. Craigmyle has been an immense support to us.“ Suzanna Jackson, Warden – Mary Ward Settlement Group

“I have nothing but gratitude and admiration for your services here.” The Rt Rev Lord Runcie, Fundraising President – Cancer Care Appeal

“It is with great gratitude that I write to thank you for your advice and help to the Appeals Office in applying for the Lottery Aid. What a surprise to know this was granted.” 
Sister Mary James, Sister Provincial, Sisters of St Joseph of Annecy – Cancer Care Revenue

“I know only too well how difficult it is to raise money with so many worthy charities competing. I can only send you my warmest congratulations on the magnificent sum you have already achieved.” The Duke of Devonshire, Fundraising Patron – Severe Physical Disability

“We are a substantial charity and it is important that we do things correctly and in the most effective way. Craigmyle’s coaching has ensured this and we still turn to them regularly for advice.” Chris Marchant, Volunteer Fundraising Director – Hospital Appeal

“Many of us approached the idea of professional fundraising consultants with much scepticism and firmly believed that we knew better just how things were done in Jersey. But the quiet professionalism and lack of hard sell won us over and they were appointed as advisors to the Appeal. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the strategies suggested to us by Craigmyle have been crucial in the success of the Appeal.” Richard Pirouet, Chair of Trustees – Education

“It is a pleasing moment to look back over the last two years and reflect on a very beneficial association with Craigmyle and your assistance at every stage with our most successful Development Appeal.” Sir Charles Masefield, Fundraising President – Education

“During my career in the voluntary sector I have worked with Craigmyle with three different charities and on each occasion Craigmyle have proved their ability to successfully adapt and apply their approach to greatly differing circumstances.” Jane Galloway, CEO Environmental Charity – Environment

“Craigmyle helped us through a period of radical change. The solution they came up with was a creative response to our very real difficulties with fundraising in a complex organisation. We look forward to a profitable ongoing relationship.” RLSS Lifesavers

“Now that the Appeal has been wound up and achieved the very satisfactory amount of just under £1,200,000, I would like to write and thank you and Craigmyle for the really excellent work you did on behalf of the school. This is the third appeal that has taken place whilst I have been with the school and easily the best run and most effective and what also mattered to me was that it was run in a way that maintained the goodwill of the parents and other donors. So many congratulations to you and your company.” Geoffrey van Cutsem FRICS, ex Chairman of Governors – St. Mary’s School, Ascot

“With their evident wealth of hands-on experience, Craigmyle provided the structure within which we were able to move forward the whole fundraising process.” Jill Low, Director, Salisbury Arts Centre

“Your letter was decisive in my decision to become President of the St. Anne’s Hospice, Malpas, Newport. I much admire the work that you have done in South Wales in recent years.” The Rt. Hon. Lord Tonypandy PC
