That shared vision drives them to build world-class expertise in niche subjects, lead on ethical practice and shape national conversations, moved not by bonuses or perks, but by genuine belief in the work.

The challenge is staying focused. A team which strives to be helpful in any way they can, coupled the necessity of chasing funding from bodies with their own agenda, can dilute the very mission that distinguishes your work, leaving staff and resources stretched thin.

And though everyone is convinced of the work's value, that value isn't easily expressed on a balance sheet. Organisations need robust ways to demonstrate and communicate their impact.

Who we are

A consultancy for mission-led organisations.

Hunter&Co was founded by Tim Hunter, who has spent over 20 years as a senior leader in some of the UK's leading arts charities and has chaired the board of a youth mentoring charity. His expertise spans strategic leadership, fundraising, sponsorship, evaluation and governance, with a specialist focus on education, inclusion and the arts, and a strong grounding in research from data analysis to ethnography. He is also a trained Action Learning Facilitator.

We live in a work culture built around, and rewarding, profit. Yet charities consistently deliver well beyond their means.

A fierce advocate for the sector, Tim founded Hunter&Co out of an unshakeable belief in charity workers, and in all those driven by a mission. The sector's infrastructure is fragile and largely self-generated by its own people, while a culture of scarcity drives competition where there should be collaboration.

Hunter&Co exists to change that, bringing greater consistency to the sector, fostering collaboration, and building its collective capacity and capability. Mission-led organisations are resourceful and resilient; their people are dedicated, knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind. The commercial sector has much to learn from charities, and it's time they started paying attention.
