Kintish have worked with various charities and not-for-profit organisations over the past years. We understand that charities, like any organisation, can benefit from effective networking to encourage increased support, awareness, and overall success for your organisation. With an uncertain economic climate looming, it is increasingly important to drum up new sources of investment and funding, in order to secure a bright future for your organisation, and those who’s livelihoods hinge on its success.

The important reasons to network 

Because you need to:

• Meet more key people and decision makers

• Introduce Jack to Jill for their mutual benefits

• Spot potential new donors and supporters by asking the right questions

• See if existing supporters can help even more

• Hear if potential donors want to set up CSR programmes

• Raise your own and your charity's profile

• Hear if an existing supporter isn’t 100% happy with your service

• Gain useful information about……

• Increase your knowledge of……

• Promote your cause in an informal setting

So how can we help?

Networking is not simply something done in a formal atmosphere. It is something we have all been doing since we could talk. So why not learn how to do it more effectively than ever before. Kintish can assist you in making useful and lasting contacts, to utilise that dreaded first introduction as a stepping stone to a long and beneficial relationship. Rather than merely relying on old contacts, why not develop the skills which can open the doors to new ones too? Being able to network effectively can only mean more opportunities, more potential, and therefore, a greater chance of success.

We run networking skills training programmes specifically aimed at charities where fundraisers and other key personnel need to become more effective and confident networkers.

As part of your fund raising and profile raising, we know you often run events, but how effective are these after you have put in all the effort? We run a half day workshops - 'How to host a successful and profitable event' - aimed specifically at team members and volunteers to show them how to become the perfect host. The result of this is you will host more successful and profitable events.

What they say about Kintish....

“I just wanted to pass on my thanks to both the admin team and Will. The admin team for the help and advice before the training day, and Will of course for such a brilliant, interesting and relevant day (replaces course). Kintish gives you re-assurance of what you already know and equips you with tools to confidently make new and relevant connections.”
Georgina Hennessy; Corporate Manager, Sense

'The course was really useful - it gives you a kind of rule book and structure of networking which is great. If you're new to networking and aren't sure how to behave / how to do it - this is essential.'
Charlotte Sewell, Barnardos 

'Genuine, open and natural public speaker Will Kintish, who shared easy and encouraging ways to engage in meeting new people - his manner was light and fun but very serious.It was of great value to me being in a new situation thank you.'
Ms T Anderson, Carers Federation
