Competitive Solutions Limited - Client Reference:
Cheshire Young Carers
My name is Graham Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Cheshire Young Carers, I am pleased to provide this reference for Competitive Solutions Limited, who have provided outstanding fundraising consultancy support to our organisation over the past 2 years.
Cheshire Young Carers supports children and young people across Cheshire who care for a family member with a long-term illness, disability, mental health condition or addiction. Our work is deeply rooted in the local community, and our funding needs are both complex and evolving. Competitive Solutions have been a trusted and knowledgeable partner in helping us meet those needs.
From the very beginning, the team at Competitive Solutions demonstrated a clear understanding of our mission and the challenges we face. They took the time to listen, understand the specific context in which we operate, and tailor their advice accordingly. Their support has included strategic fundraising guidance, bid development, and advice on long-term income sustainability, all of which have been delivered to a consistently high standard.
As a direct result of their work, we have successfully secured several key grants and funding opportunities, which have enabled us to expand our services and strengthen our support for young carers across the region. Importantly, their approach has been collaborative, ethical, and grounded in a genuine commitment to social impact.
I remain grateful for the organisation's, attention to detail, and ability to balance strategic creative thinking with practical delivery. The team is responsive, approachable, and brings a wealth of experience that has added real value to our organisation.
I would not hesitate to recommend Competitive Solutions Limited to any charity seeking to grow its fundraising capacity. They have made a meaningful contribution to our development, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.
Yours faithfully,
Graham Phillips MBE DL
