Strategic Business Planning and general management issues.

Maybe you have been unable to find the right person with relevant experience, or have insufficient funding for a permanent, full time member of staff.

Arclight Solutions Ltd offers practical, hands on, no nonsense advice. Just one day spent with a Consultant could make all the difference to how you see things.

Having an outside perspective can help identify opportunities, resources and hidden assets that can be used to generate income or reduce costs, helping to make your organisation more sustainable.

We can also help develop and tie in fundraising strategies to assist with your longer term income streams, ensuring sustainability to support your vision for the future and achievement of goals.


Budgeting, Accounting and help with Database systems.

We can audit your existing database systems and advise on the right system for your organisation. As well as provide assistance with the annual budget setting process and a sign posting service for audit and accountancy advice.

Fundraising, Marketing and Communications.

Perhaps you have lost a fundraising team member and need someone to keep your income stream going while you set about the recruitment process.

We work with you across a range of areas, to develop appropriate strategies and plans that will generate results, (identifying and maximising income streams) including:

  • audits of current capital & revenue fundraising
  • capital appeal planning, research studies and production of the ‘case for support’
  • major donors and major gift campaigns
  • charitable trusts, statutory and national lottery
  • legacy campaigns
  • supporter clubs/membership/alumni
  • event management
  • corporate sector approaches
  • merchandising and retail trading income
  • communications/marketing strategies & plans
  • direct marketing, e-marketing and web sites

Governance, Patronage, Trustees induction and training.

We can help with the research and identification of potential voluntary leadership - non executive and patronage, which are key to future strategic growth and longer term income generation.

Staff and volunteer recruitment, training and team building.

Perhaps you need an interim manager to prepare a strategy and plans for a new campaign area, or ready for a new staff appointment. We can help members of your team with all aspects of:

  • Fundraising and charity management training
  • Provision of mentoring and coaching for more senior executives
  • Staff recruitment, interviewing and assistance with induction programmes
  • Team building programmes designed specifically around the needs of your staff
