North Staffs Medical Institute (NSMI), a medical research and educational charity
in Stoke on Trent, has received a grant from Business Link to cover commissioning
a review of its services and marketing.
Fundraising consultants Wootton George Consulting(
WGC) was brought in by Business Link to carry out a marketing and services review
and to produce a business plan, part-funded by Business Link. NSMI has been able
to access this funding due to the limited company registration it holds alongside
its charity status.

Simon George, a Director of WGC, said: “This is an excellent example of a charity
winning state support for consultancy, which might otherwise not have happened. 
Many charities are unaware that they can often attract external support for consultancy
projects, from a range of sources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WGC was able to deliver this assignment because a Director, Simon George, is listed
on the National Business Link Consultants Register.
