Charity & Funding Consultancy across the South East
KA Consultancy works across the South East of England, supporting purpose-led organisations from Kent and Sussex through Surrey, Hampshire and the surrounding counties. Our clients range from small community charities to established social enterprises and mission-aligned SMEs.
The work is hands-on and senior. We build grant fundraising pipelines, write investable business plans, model cashflow, develop community buildings and design partnerships that hold together.
Local context
The South East is one of the most complex funding landscapes in the UK — pockets of significant deprivation alongside areas perceived as affluent, often within a few miles. This perception affects where national funders direct money and creates blind spots that local organisations have to work harder to overcome.
Our pipeline work reflects this reality: we research the funders genuinely active in the South East, the place-based programmes that move money locally, and the national funders willing to look beyond the affluence narrative.
