“Rachel has been an invaluable pillar of support for ecoACTIVE in our fundraising endeavours since 2020. Her dedication has been evident through tireless efforts in researching potential funders, meticulously crafting grant applications, and offering invaluable assistance in editing and proofreading. Beyond this, Rachel has played a pivotal role in refining our impact assessment, elevating the evidence we provide to funders. Her support has significantly contributed to expanding and diversifying our grant income, empowering our small charity to enhance our fundraising capacity over the years.”  Jessica Dolan, CEO of EcoActive

”We have been working with Rachel and John for 5 years and have had their support and expertise on a wide variety of projects.  For us consultation has been key to building and maintaining a first class organisation that meets the needs of both our service users and volunteers alike.  We have received over £500,000 during this period in successful grant applications based on the solid information and data assembled in our work with Succeed.  Building refurbishment projects, health based projects and transport needs have formed the greater part of this work and additionally we have become a more effective board of directors through facilitated ‘away days’.  In a small charity there are never enough hours in the day to achieve all the goals but with John and Rachel on board we have grown in confidence and gone from strength to strength. The bottom line is they listen and understand and the results speak for themselves.”  Ailsa Bearpark – Chair of Otley Action for Older People
