Releasing the Power of Philanthropic Networks at Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice 

How bespoke training can unlock philanthropic prospects   

At Compton, we believe that the most powerful fundraising begins with people – especially those already connected to your cause. That’s why we were delighted to deliver a bespoke workshop at the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow recently focused on releasing the power of philanthropic networks. 

Led by Paul Molloy and Philip Cuthell from our team, the session explored how Trustees, Senior Management Teams, and fundraising professionals can identify and activate influential volunteers and their networks to drive major gift success.

What does it take to unlock philanthropic networks? 

We guide teams through:

  • Identifying prospective supporters within existing networks
  • Qualifying their potential interest and capacity
  • Cultivating relationships with authenticity
  • Enlisting volunteers into fundraising teams
  • Supporting their outreach with confidence and strategy

This workshop was a deep dive into the art and science of network-based fundraising, and we’re grateful to Josh Munns and the team at PPWH for their warm welcome and enthusiastic participation.

Why peer-led fundraising matters 

In today’s fundraising landscape, peer-led approaches are more effective than ever. Volunteers and supporters who are personally invested in your mission can open doors to new donors, build trust, and amplify your message. 

Training your teams to harness these networks is not just a tactical move – it’s a strategic investment in long-term philanthropic success. 

Want to build your own network-based fundraising strategy?  

We offer customised fundraising and philanthropy workshops tailored to your organisation’s needs whether you’re a large or small charity, a hospice or hospital, a school or universityan arts organisation or a thinktank.
