Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
“I attended a training course led by Jay last year. His presentation style was professional, friendly and relaxed and he spoke with honesty, from significant fundraising experience, about the lessons he has learned. He also dealt effectively with a wide range of questions, giving careful consideration to draw on broader fundraising knowledge, in order to provide appropriate advice to others. Really helpful attitude and the course was thoroughly enjoyable – one of the best I have attended, in terms of practical learning which is transferable to my role.”

“We contacted Jay at Kudos Fundraising during covid as our income disappeared overnight. We own 5 caravans that we offer as free respite holidays. We were on the verge of having to sell one to pay ground rent for the other four. Kudos secured us the funding we required and over that period have raised over £200,000 for our charity. We would highly recommend.”

Chairman, Children’s Leukaemia Society
“I attended a training session hosted by Jay recently and I must say it was superb. His professionalism and passion for his work shone through, along with his commitment to helping others achieve by learning from each other. He is extremely knowledgeable on the charity sector. It’s evident starting his charity journey as a voluntary fundraiser really shaped his knowledge and expertise into the successful and dedicated professional fundraiser he is today.
During the session he was very approachable, open to questions, comments and suggestions and shared some fantastic hints and tips throughout to support others maximise income for their own charities. He was very engaging with the audience, and made the session interactive asking attendees to share their individual experiences and offering feedback and suggestions if necessary.
I would highly recommend a training session, you’ll be sure to leave feeling motivated, energised and prepared to implement your learnings within your own charity. Thank you Jay! “

“The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on BulliesOut as we virtually lost all of our income overnight. Faced with a very worrying situation, we knew we had to bring in funds quickly.
As we’d never run an appeal before we asked Jay from Kudos Fundraising for help. He has been brilliant. Prior to working with us, he spoke with us in-depth, ensuring he knew exactly what we needed.
Jay then set up an emergency appeal for BulliesOut. Within 48 hours, the appeal had gone above and beyond its initial target, raising so much awareness as well as the funds needed to keep BulliesOut afloat.
Jay is an extremely thorough professional who gives 100% to his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend his work to others.”

Chief Executive Officer, BulliesOut
“I would 100% recommend starting coaching and mentoring sessions with Jay. When I started a new career path, he was only too willing to help me by sharing his many years of experience.
As Jay is incredibly down-to-earth, I didn’t feel shy or silly asking him any question, at all! I have benefited massively professionally from these coaching sessions.
Jay has such a wide range of skills, experience and expertise that I have been able to take all that knowledge back into my workplace. As I work for a children’s cancer charity, all the coaching sessions are enabling me to help those children across Wales who really need it most.”
