Helping Small to medium sized UK charities to survive and thrive
Felton Fundraising has been helping small to medium-sized UK charities secure vital funds since 1995. At the heart of our success is a dedicated team of experienced, hands-on fundraisers who have collectively raised over £55 million for charitable causes.
Led by Richard and Sarah Felton, our team has partnered with hundreds of registered charities, providing expert support in achieving their fundraising goals. Our clients value our expertise and proven track record, leading to long-term partnerships built on trust and results – over 80% have worked with us for five or more years.
We are a friendly, reliable, and committed team, passionate about making a difference. Every pound we help raise directly impacts the vulnerable and marginalised communities our charities serve daily.
At Felton Fundraising, we don’t just raise funds—we build lasting relationships and create meaningful change.

Working With Us
We’re here to help. Whether you need us to prepare funding applications and appeals or provide training and mentoring for your team, we offer tailored service packages designed to meet your specific needs.
Our expertise ensures that you receive strategic guidance and practical solutions, equipping your organisation with the necessary tools to secure sustainable funding.
Hands-On
Our talented team specialises in raising funds from grant-making trusts, charitable foundations, and the National Lottery Community Fund to enable those that we work with to continue delivering their services and lives both locally and throughout the country.
Most of our charities stay with us to maintain regular income from grant-making organisations which means that our capacity to take on new ‘hands-on’ work is sometimes limited.
However, that said it’s always worth contacting us to see if we can help and if nothing else we can always offer you some training and mentoring.
Training & Mentoring
We always strive to help where we are able to, knowing that running, working and fundraising for a charity can sometimes be a lonely and frustrating place.
In an effort to help charities develop their own in house skills we have created ‘Trust Fundraiser’ our training and mentoring programme. Utilising over 30 years of experience it’s designed to give your own staff the skills, resources, and support needed for trust fundraising. You’ll get our expert advice and one to one attention as you seek out, write, and prepare applications for funding.
This enables you, or one of your team, to learn from us and take a bit of the Felton Fundraising success back to your organisation.
Fundraising Services
Felton Fundraising proudly supports a diverse range of charities delivering vital services in areas such as poverty, homelessness, disability, sexual exploitation, mental health and cancer care.
Beyond securing funding, we are dedicated to mentoring, training, and empowering others to strengthen their own fundraising capabilities.
Explore our services to find the right support for your organisation – whether you need hands-on fundraising, training and mentoring, or expert guidance to navigate the ongoing challenges of the cost-of-living crisis. We’re here to help.

Many of our charities stay with us long-term to maintain a steady income from grant-making organisations. As a result, our capacity for new hands-on projects is sometimes limited – but we always encourage you to get in touch to see how we can help.
