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...
