“As Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Toby Henderson Trust I would like endorse the work of Alex Blake from KEDA Consulting. Alex is responsive, straight talking and clearly good at his job. I was relatively new to being a trustee when Alex first started and I was sceptical. However, everyone in the trust knew we had to be more proactive with our fund raising so we made a commitment to Alex for a year. He gave us a sensible plan of action that was financially doable and worked closely with our Project Director to identify the best possible sources of support before starting to research and make applications. A year later Alex has brought in twelve times the amount we invested in his services and we still have 17 outstanding applications that we have not yet heard back from. The largest contributor he found last year is funding the rent for our building for three years, I think that speaks for its self.”

“Alex has given us a strong start at working out if we can obtain funding from new sources. The process has been strong and filled the team and trustees with confidence. Alex is really straight forward. His experience comes to the fore and saves significant time.”
