# Riverside Consulting
Riverside Consulting is a Community Interest Company based in Sunderland that brings together a collective of seasoned professionals to deliver strategic consulting and development services. Established in 2009, the firm pools over 100 years of combined expertise across fundraising, international partnerships, project management, staff training, organisational development and strategic planning.
The business serves a diverse client base including small and medium-sized enterprises, community agencies, and programmes targeting disadvantaged residents. They specialise in designing and delivering transformative programmes that create tangible social and economic impact. Their work spans capacity building, sustainable transport initiatives, and international development partnerships, including notable projects in China and collaborations with organisations like Durham Sparks.
What distinguishes Riverside Consulting is their integrated approach combining organisational expertise with deep community understanding. Rather than operating as isolated consultants, the team leverages their collective knowledge to deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to client needs. Their track record demonstrates real-world impact—the TravelRight programme, delivered between 2013 and 2017, assisted over 3,000 residents in Northumberland with travel planning skills whilst establishing partnerships across transport operators and infrastructure providers.
The firm's Community Interest Company structure reflects their commitment to social value. They work equally with established organisations requiring strategic planning and vulnerable populations needing support services, positioning themselves as genuine partners in sustainable development rather than external consultants.
