Our story
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resilience and adaptability of the third sector have been put to the test. Out of this challenging period, Out of the Ashes Ltd. emerged dedicated to empowering charities and social enterprises to navigate the ever-changing landscape of fundraising and project delivery.
​
Founded in July 2020 by Kristina Stazaker, Out of the Ashes was born out of a deep-rooted passion for supporting organisations that make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Kristina's firsthand experience with the vulnerabilities faced by charities during the pandemic ignited a spark within her, leading her to establish a company that would provide much-needed guidance and support.
​
With a focus on strategic fundraising and bid-writing, Out of the Ashes quickly gained recognition for its expertise and effectiveness. Within two months of its launch, the company was operating at full capacity, testament to its commitment to helping charities thrive.
​
Today, Out of the Ashes stands as a Limited Company with a team of four dedicated individuals, each bringing a unique skillset to the table. Together, they have successfully raised over £1 million for charitable causes, enabling these entities to continue their vital work and make a lasting impact on their communities.
​
Kristina's commitment to excellence is further reinforced by memberships with the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and the Digital Marketing Institute. These affiliations ensure that the company remains at the forefront of industry best practices, providing its clients with the most up-to-date and effective strategies.
​
The company's leadership is spearheaded by Kristina Stazaker, an accomplished professional with an MSc in Conservation, a Professional Certificate in Charity and Social Enterprise Management, and a Certified AGILE Project Management Practitioner. Her expertise and passion for the third sector are instrumental in driving Out of the Ashes' success.

Out of the Ashes is not merely a fundraising consultancy; it is a catalyst for transformation, empowering charities to achieve their goals and make a meaningful difference in the world.
