Fundraising consultancy for small and medium charities in Dorset, Wiltshire & Hampshire

I'm Rachel Turnbull, and I grow charity income through strategies that work, backed by real-world fundraising experience.

What I offer

Six core services

Built for small and medium charities across Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, each available on its own or as part of a wider approach to income, scoped around what your charity actually needs.

01

Corporate Partnerships

Building a corporate giving programme from nothing, or reviving one that has stalled: sponsorship, payroll giving, employee fundraising and charity-of-the-year relationships built to last.

Strategy + delivery
02

Event Planning

Planning and delivering fundraising events end to end, from concept and sponsorship sourcing through to on-the-day delivery, built to raise more than they cost.

Strategy + delivery
03

Community Fundraising

Mapping your local network, building relationships with businesses and community groups, and turning goodwill into a reliable, repeatable income stream.

Strategy + delivery
04

Grants & Trusts

Writing and reviewing trust and grant applications on a freelance basis, and helping you build a pipeline income strategy.

Application writing & pipeline development
05

Fundraising Culture

Building strategies that foster internal engagement, and running workshops for staff in delivery, admin, facilities and other non-fundraising roles, so fundraising is understood and supported across the whole organisation.

Whole-organisation buy-in
06

Strategic Guidance

Practical, experience-led guidance on your income strategy, built on real-world fundraising rather than desk-based analysis, with major donor cultivation available as an add-on where it fits.

Practitioner-led guidance
How it works

Straightforward rates

Every engagement is priced to suit how you want to work, from a single focused session to a fixed-price project with clear goals.

Hourly Rate

For short, focused pieces of work, or ongoing support billed as you go.

Half-Day Rate

For a workshop, a review meeting, or a planning session that needs proper time.

Day Rate

For deeper, hands-on work such as event delivery or an in-depth strategy session.

Fixed Price

Agreed upfront against a set of goals, so you know the full cost before we start.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation to talk through your challenges and aims, with no obligation to continue.

Why work with me

One person, every stream

My skills and experience span corporate, community, event and grant income, built from running all four together inside a live fundraising team.

Proven, not theoretical

Experience built inside a real fundraising team with a real target, not just advisory work from outside.

Local roots

An understanding of the business and community landscape across Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, used to shape a tailored income strategy for each charity I work with.

Strategy and delivery

I'll build the plan and, if you want, roll my sleeves up and help deliver it too.

Personal, not corporate

You work directly with me throughout, with no account handovers and no junior team.

“Fundraising is relationships, sustained.”
About

A fundraiser first, a consultant second

I run fundraising for charities hands-on rather than from the sidelines, and understand how corporate partnerships, community fundraising, events and grants work alongside each other, rather than treating them as separate jobs.

Before recommending anything, I take time to develop an in-depth understanding of a charity's needs: what's already in place, and what resources and skills are available. That's what makes the income strategy I build achievable, rather than generic.

I was also a founding board member of Salisbury Young Chamber, set up to help young people build B2B relationships.

I set up Turnbull Fundraising to bring that same hands-on approach to charities directly, without the overheads of a large consultancy. If that sounds like the support your charity needs, I'd like to hear from you.
