CCS Europe, one of the world’s leading fundraising consultancies, has raised £6 
million of its £7 million target for the ‘Planning For The Future’ appeal. The appeal,
which is ahead of schedule, is for the Catholic disocese of Down and Connor for 
cathedral restoration, priest retirement and lay education. 
CCS previously raised
£13 million for the Archdiocese of Armagh, also in Northern Ireland, against a target
of £8 million.

CCS claims to have raised over $1 billion dollars for Catholic causes. The company
has also designed a wide range of other appeals in the United States and Europe.
