# Third Sector Consultancy
Third Sector Consultancy helps charities and voluntary organisations across the UK secure funding and build organisational capacity to fulfil their missions. Based in Otley, the consultancy specialises in navigating the complex funding landscape, from charitable trusts and foundations to National Lottery grants.
John and Rachel work through genuine partnership, taking time to understand each organisation's needs before developing tailored support strategies. Their approach combines practical fundraising expertise with deeper organisational development, recognising that successful funding requires both strong applications and robust internal foundations.
What distinguishes Third Sector Consultancy is their track record and accessibility. In 2025 alone, they helped secure over £680,000 in grants for clients including ecoACTIVE, Bradford African Community, and Otley Action for Older People. They're trusted consultants on the Lloyds Bank Enhance programme and regularly undertake pro bono work for local organisations. Their willingness to access development funding means support can sometimes be provided at no cost to charities.
Rather than offering generic solutions, they provide bespoke support—from fundraising strategy and grant application writing through to impact assessment, strategic planning, and consultant coaching. They understand the specific challenges smaller charities face in competing for funding, and help organisations strengthen their evidence base and diversify income streams. The emphasis on collaboration, combined with proven results and genuine local commitment, makes them a distinctive partner for organisations serious about sustainable growth.
