Giving Back!

Empowering Charities to Thrive from Day One

We are dedicated to giving back.

With over 20 years of experience in the charitable sector, Laurence understands the hurdles that start-ups face during their early stages. That’s why Kestrel Consultancy is committed to giving back by offering strategic, creative, and fundraising support to three charities every year — completely free of upfront costs.
We aim to empower the passionate and selfless individuals behind charitable missions, giving them the tools, strategies, and guidance they need to turn their vision for a better future into reality.
To qualify for the Giving Back scheme, your charity must:
• Be under two years old
• Have less than £20,000 in capital
