“Emica Consulting is a great firm. They take all the hassle away from dealing with fundraising and are always available to answer my questions. Their support has enabled us to deliver significantly more projects to communities who otherwise couldn’t access them. Above all we trust them. They started as our consultants but have become trusted advisors”.
Catherine Billington, Chairman,
Herd House Equestrian Centre, Burnley, Lancashire
Emica Consulting have just helped us secure £300,000 from the Government’s Department of Children’s Schools and Families. The rapid speed of response from Emica Consulting- writing a strategic bid in a very short timescale- and the Emica’s ability to manage and coordinate the entire process despite us only having a loose collection of ideas has been fantastic. In particular, Emica Consulting’s entire process- from customer service to writing the bid to ongoing support- has been exemplary. We would not have been able to do it without Emica.

“Emica Consulting worked tirelessly and sincerely, leaving no stone unturned, until we were successful in our fundraising efforts. They did not rest until we were successful- and they are continuing to work for us without charging us extra- I would definitely recommend that you call them today!”
Laverne Hunt, Media Community Network Ltd, Founder
“I challenged Emica to pull out the stops on this one (in order to write our bid to the Department for Children, Schools and Families in a very short timescale) if we subscribed (to their services) and you've certainly worked hard to turn this one round on time!”
Peter Chilvers
School Development Support Agency, Leicester
“We were very sceptical about taking on consultants as we didn’t even have a shoe string budget. After alot of reluctance due to our financial constraints, we took the gamble and recruited Emica Consulting. This gamble has paid off. We are delighted with the results and have quickly secured significant funding, and we have also reached the final stages for £0.5 million bid- which is looking very hopeful!.”

“Our funding was used to commission Emica to undertake a feasibility study with a community organisation in a deprived part of south Leeds to establish the best option for a new community enterprise centre. The organisation worked closely with the relevant individuals and undertook appropriate consultation - having the relevant sensitivities and knowledge was a great benefit. I was impressed with the final report that was completed and it has allowed the organisation to take its vision forward with greater confidence."
John Bracewell
Neighbourhood Renewal Manager, Leeds City Council

“Emica Consulting assisted voluntary and community groups in Bradford to access SRB Regen 2000 funding. For example, they secured £300,000 for the SMKS Centre on Leeds Road, Bradford as well as £15,000 for a feasibility study from NRF. Their work enabled local groups to bid effectively and I was pleased with their professionalism and the results of their work. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services.”

“Events over the last few years have demonstrated that for sustainable regeneration to become a reality, community cohesion and neighbourhood renewal must work hand in hand. Emica Consulting plays an essential role in bringing that holistic perspective that ultimately helps ensure that people from disadvantaged backgrounds and those living in deprived neighbourhoods can start to feel part of the solution rather than being labeled as the problem.”
Shahid Malik MP
Minister for International Development
“Emica Consulting has secured over £3 million for our community centre. Their efforts have been amazing. When I heard of their genuine straightforward and ethical service I thought 'this sounds too good to be true'. My oversight of this excellent firm would have cost me £3 million.”

“£343,000 secured and advice about how to effectively manage our projects to please our funders and enable them to continue to fund us. Our relationship with emica consulting is the most important asset to our organisation. Importantly, we can call them any time for advice or issues bothering us about any aspect of our organisation- and they bend over backwards to provide free advice.”

“3 months within being commissioned Emica got us £150,000 from the Young People's Fund. This was the first time ever we have secured funding and before this we thought we never would- until we took the step and brought in emica. This bid itself led to another £30,000 within 2 weeks from UK Online and now the council is amazed at how much we have achieved that they want to join in, take some credit and fund us to expand the programme- whereas before we had struggled to get any financial support. Emica strategically advised us as to how to go about building relationships and seeing them through and undertook an excellent feasibility study.”
Tariq Abassi, Cohesion Project, Woolwich, London
“Although we have only recently started a working relationship with Emica, we are encouraged by the early results. As a Drug & Alcohol Action Team we are committed to supporting local communities in addressing drug and alcohol issues. We recognise that we can only do this in partnership with the local community, voluntary and professional sectors. Emica are now working with us to find practical ways of turning this into reality”.
