Introducing: The Skilled NHS Fundraiser Programme

We are excited to announce a new training programme for fundraisers across the NHS. We recognise that this is a fast-growing area of fundraising with unique challenges so we are proud to have enlisted one of the sector’s most accomplished fundraisers to run a comprehensive and intensive learning programme that will spread excellence across this very special environment. This course is devised and presented by Sofia Sheikh, who has 15 years of experience in raising funds in the NHS, for three separate NHS Trusts. Sofia is also a trustee of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising. In delivering this programme she is drawing upon the 25-year track record of Fundraising Training Ltd in providing high quality fundraising training.

This comprehensive programme will comprise six 90-minute online live workshops plus eight hours of 1-2-1 mentoring. We’ll take you on a journey that will start with gathering fundraising data, look at the influences of the people around you and impart practical planning skills. Whether you are responsible for managing the fundraising or specific fundraising method, you’ll find this course inspiring.

The course costs £1,880 for the complete package and you can book here.

Funder Research

We have had so many requests to share our knowledge of the funding world and help find funders for our clients. In response, we have developed a new funder research product, called Ecology Mapping. This tool portrays the funding universe you are part of using interactive network mapping software. It will help you to identify potential funders, benchmark your performance against your peers and, above all - find your connections with funders.

Our style and specialisms

Welcome to Fundraising Training Ltd. Here, you’ll find the world’s largest range of learning in fundraising.

We are global experts in grantseeking. Our international team has succeeded with funders all across the world. Our clients range from Save the Children to Bipolar UK to the Media Council of Tanzania. We work with specialist grantseeking teams and grant dependent organisations where there are no fundraising specialists.

Our online courses are available to grantseekers anywhere. Our unique style of interactive learning is a fusion of the different cultures of our clients and trainers. The style is participatory, so we limit each session to 16 participants. Most of our 90-minute workshops are on separate days, so your time online is short and manageable. The learning is enjoyable, memorable and practical. You will come away with a toolkit which will last your lifetime of seeking funds.

You can join a live online workshop for as little as £59; attend a cluster of four online workshops for £199; or opt for our two complete programmes: the Introduction to Grantseeking for £379; the Skilled Grantseeker Programme for £895. Look out for our self-paced learning modules soon, if you are unable to attend the workshops.
