Introduction

The Arkwright Society at Cromford Mills has been successful in receiving funding from
The  National  Lottery  Heritage  Fund  and  the  required  match  funding  for  the
development  phase of the sustainable redevelopment of Building 1 and associated
buildings. This major capital project is entitled: Cromford Mills – Celebrating Heritage,
creating a sustainable future.   The grade I listed mill complex at Cromford is a key
attribute of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site (DVMWHS).  It is from these
buildings that Sir Richard Arkwright developed technology that changed the world we
live in, giving rise to the industrial revolution by creating the modern factory system.

Buildings 1, 7, and 8-10, which are currently on the National Heritage at Risk Register,
will  be  transformed  into  a  restaurant,  visitor  welcome  area,  office/overnight
accommodation, and a new function/events space. This redevelopment will conserve
their unique historic character, remove them from the at-risk register, and make them
publicly  accessible  again. The  project  will  involve  the  upgrading  of  areas  of  public
realm,  including  the  main  car  park  and  provision  of  a  covered  events  space.  The
project  will  also  seek  to  broaden  public  engagement,  enabling  more  people  to
experience and appreciate the site’s significance, ensuring Cromford Mills remains a
key  destination  within  the  DVMWHS.    This  engagement  will  include  a  skills  and
learning programme as well as enhanced volunteer engagement, interpretation and
community activities.

Purpose of the Brief

The Arkwright Society is required to secure match funding in the region of £1.2m by
May 2027 for the delivery phase submission to the Heritage Fund  and is seeking a
fundraising consultant to provide strategic guidance on fundraising initiatives, helping
to identify new funding opportunities,  advise on engagement with key stakeholders
and  donors,  and  support  targeted  funding  applications,  including  bid  writing  where
needed. The consultant will work closely with the CEO to ensure fundraising goals are
met efficiently and effectively, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the project
and securing funding for both capital and non-capital activities in line with the Society’s
objectives. On appointment, the Society’s Fundraising Strategy and Action Plan for the
project will be shared to guide this work.

Context

Today,  Cromford  Mills  is  owned  and  managed  by  The  Arkwright  Society,  an
educational  charity  and  Building  Preservation  Trust  focused  on  preserving  and
regenerating the site and the wider estate at Lumsdale.  Founded in 1979, the Society
is committed to the regeneration of the site and to the reuse of the buildings in ways
that  will  provide  them  with  a  sustainable  future  and  which  offers  year  round
employment that will contribute positively to the local environment.  Over the years the
Society  has  benefitted  from  significant  financial  support,  notably  from  the  Heritage
Fund, Historic England and European Funding, to repair and transform several mill
buildings  on  site.     As  a  charity  the  Society  has  a  membership  and  has  recently
launched a corporate partnership offer to encourage more engagement and support
from the business community.

The Society is an active partner within the DVMWHS and is a member of the technical
panel.  Cooperation  across the valley  is being realised  through critical partnerships
which  see  the  Society  working with  other heritage  sites  across  the  valley including
Belper North Mill Trust, Masson Mills and Derby Museums. The Society has a Strategic
Partnership with the University of Derby to support student learning, and the University
has committed in-kind support to this project through research on renewable energies
and  to  proactively  engage  with  the Activity  Planning  development.    The  Society  is
developing  relationships  with  the  new  East  Midlands  Mayoral  Combined  Authority
which has identified the DVMWHS as one of seven priority areas for inclusive growth.

The mill complex is a large site with a visitor exhibition, business centre (Cromford
Creative),  catering  and  a  busy  events  and  conferencing  programme.  Whilst  most
buildings are in active use, the First Mill (Building 18) and Building 1 are in partial use
with significant repair needs.  The Society has an award-winning educational offer for
schools  and  a  very  enthusiastic  and  involved  volunteer  team,  who  help  deliver  the
visitor  heritage  offer.   This  heritage  offer  comprises  ticketed  tours,  a  virtual  digital
experience and several exhibits within the visitor centre.  With Heritage Fund support,
the website and social media coverage has significantly improved and a draft audience
development plan has been developed.

At  Cromford  the  vision  is  to  continue  the  regeneration  of  the  s...
