My Journey to sustainable impact
I’m Matt Brinkley, and I help purpose-led organisations grow with confidence through sustainable fundraising, stronger systems and practical support.
I’ve always been drawn to the point where ambition meets action, helping good ideas become well-funded, resilient organisations that can deliver for the people they serve.
Today I support CIC owners and community leaders through:
-
A step-by-step fundraising course
-
1:1 mentoring tailored to your capacity and goals
-
Buckets of Funds membership - bite-sized weekly fundraising challenges designed for small teams, with a weekly Zoom to help you choose, commit, and follow through
In September 2025, I climbed Kilimanjaro in memory of my best friend, a reminder that challenge can fuel purpose.
Across my work and challenges, I’ve helped raise £50,000+ for good causes.
