Way back in 1995, Felton Fundraising, a newly-established ethical fundraising company set up by Richard and Sarah Felton, ran a very successful appeal on behalf of NANSA (Norfolk & Norwich Scope Association).
This was the beginning of a long and very productive working collaboration, as our Association ran many appeals with the support of Richard and Sarah over the following years. Thanks to their vast knowledge and expertise we raised money for new children's services, young adult groups, equipment, a new entrance - and roof - for the Adult Centre, numerous training and employment enterprises and, of course, the establishment of the wonderful Family Centre in Woodcock Road, Norwich.
I think that the key to Felton Fundraising's success - apart from a vast amount of knowledge and the consistently high standards they set for themselves - is that they work very closely with their client charities from the outset of every appeal; first identifying and advising on the best sources of funding for the project, and then working together to shape, prepare, launch and run the appeal in a format which will maximise it's chances of success. This process takes great skill, and charities can trust Sarah, Richard and their highly efficient team, led by super manager Emma, to provide a top class service at all times.
I retired some years ago, but was so pleased to learn that Felton Fundraising are continuing to support many charities with their fantastic service. I am very grateful for all the help they gave NANSA to develop and maintain our services over many years, and send them my congratulations and best wishes for their continued success in supporting Norfolk charities.
