Voluntary Norfolk takes on Blue Tree Fundraising
Howard Lake | 8 October 2014 | News
Infrastructure organisation Voluntary Norfolk is now offering fundraising services to charities and voluntary groups, having acquired the business of Blue Tree Fundraising, the fundraising consultancy.
Blue Tree Fundraising focused on raising funds for small and medium-sized not-for-profit organisations. The transfer to Voluntary Norfolk includes all existing contracts and commitments.
Brian Horner, Chief Executive of Voluntary Norfolk said:
“Charities and voluntary groups have been through a difficult few years. Raising funds has become increasingly challenging for many. We are delighted that we will now be able to offer a service tailored to meeting the needs of such groups which will help them continue their vital work in their communities.”
Matthew Adam of Blue Tree Fundraising added:

“From the early days of Blue Tree we could see there was a definite need for high quality professional fundraising at a low cost, to enable smaller charities to tap into the services they were normally priced out of. This need continues to grow and we have found in Voluntary Norfolk a particularly entrepreneurial and outward-looking organisation which will allow us to expand to help even more people.”
Voluntary Norfolk‘s existing services include its Charity BackRoom trading arm which offers HR support and employment law, DBS checks, payroll and accounting, and health and safety advice to charities and voluntary organisations.
