Support that moves projects forward
Four connected areas of support for sports clubs, charities and not-for-profit organisations.
Free AssessmentsThe four areas in more detail
Each service follows the same practical approach: understand the challenge, agree what will make the biggest difference and then help deliver it.

The value is in joining the pieces together
A funding application is often stronger when the project plan is stronger. A facility project is easier to sustain when governance and income generation are in place. Partnership, sponsorship, CSR and fundraising opportunities are more compelling when the organisation can clearly explain its impact, audience and ambitions.
That is why Open Goal Consulting is not limited to one narrow consultancy specialism. The support can move across these four connected areas where that is what the project needs.
How we work together
No lengthy consultancy process. Start with the problem and build the support around what will actually help.
Understand
Talk through your organisation, the project and what you are trying to achieve.
Plan
Agree the priorities, timescales and practical support that will make the biggest difference.
Deliver
Work hands-on with you to move the agreed work forward, not simply leave you with a report.
Flexible ways to work together
Retainer support
Regular access to practical advice and hands-on support, with the level of involvement agreed around your organisation’s needs.
Fixed-price work
Agree a clear scope and fixed price for a specific project, application or piece of consultancy work.
No Win, No Fee
For selected funding-only applications, there is no upfront consultancy fee. An agreed success fee is payable only if funding is secured, subject to suitability and agreed terms.
Fees are agreed around the scope, complexity and level of support required, so the approach can be proportionate to the project and organisation.
