Testimonials
“The community audit carried out by TFG Sports has completely changed our Foundation.
We reviewed our development, operations, governance and policies, fundraising, strategy, PR and our ‘why.’
The senior management support by Simon has also been crucial in our growth and delivering our plans.
We’re now much more focused, with a clear direction. Most of all we’ve grown significantly in just a short period of time.”
Widnes Vikings RLFC
Thank you very much for the comprehensive and extensive piece of work you carried out on our Foundation strategy in advance of the Board merger.
All of the stakeholders were particularly impressed with your engagement and ability to find cut through and come up with some really tangible plans which have already begun to make a difference to our bottom line.
Foundation/Charitable organisations are traditionally pretty poor at having a cohesive plan and even more importantly how to execute and deliver on the plan; your assistance and clarity in terms of pulling this together has been critical in moving us to the next stage of our evolvement as a Foundation."
Chief Executive, Durham Cricket
“TFG Sports really elevated our growth as a Foundation.
They analysed our existing community programme and worked with us to create a range of new, commercially-led programmes.
That really helped improve our unrestricted revenue streams and crucially extend our impact across the District.
Their work also synchronised our commercial and marketing work with the Club, driving gameday attendances and brand engagement.
Director, Castleford Tigers Foundation
