Coastal Wildbelt fundraising research study
Prospect & Pitch conducted a fundraising research study for National Trails UK’s Coastal Wildbelt initiative, exploring strategic funding opportunities to protect and enhance the UK’s coastal landscapes.
​
Through over 30 interviews with funders and stakeholders, the study assessed investment priorities and funding barriers, informing a recommendations paper and funding opportunity analysis. Key insights were presented to trustees and senior executives, ensuring strategic alignment.
​
A five-year implementation plan outlined fundraising targets and engagement strategies. The study reinforced the Coastal Wildbelt’s potential, positioning National Trails UK to secure sustainable funding and drive long-term conservation impact.
“If you're looking for someone to really listen, understand and support your organisation to be successful with fundraising in the future - look no further. Prospect & Pitch's dynamic and person-centred approach developed a fantastic report, roadmap and resources to support and drive forward the Coastal Wildbelt initiative.”
