Prospect researcher Matthew Iredale has set up a website for prospect and fundraising
researchers with the aim of providing advice, information and support for those 
who carry out research in fundraising departments in the UK.
The site, which is 
free to access, is aimed primarily at those who wish to carry out prospect research
into wealthy individuals, but it also includes information that is relevant to research
into trusts and companies.

Iredale, who is Fundraising Research Manager at The Stroke Association, said: “It
is intended to be especially useful for those new to research, but I hope that there
are parts of it that will be of interest to more established researchers as well.”

Sections of the website offer advice on setting up a research department, finding
your beneficiaries, uncovering your contacts, and The City of London. There is also
a welcoming “Help, it’s my first day!” section.

There is also a nascent blog on UK prospect research, an early post on which suggests
that feedback on the new site from the UK prospect research community has been positive.
