Abbeyfield Ilkley

All Carrots and No Sticks' is an honest review of the ups and downs of a successful £8.9 million capital fundraising project. It now features in Book 1 of the Open University's 'Winning Resources and Support' course.

“I am delighted to see Abbeyfield Ilkley succeed and thrive. I am sure it is as a result of the efforts of many and is, in my opinion, due in no small part to the expertise and guidance of Patrick Boggon and his colleagues at Tarnside Consulting.”

His Grace The Duke of Devonshire CBE.

“When I was told of the plans to establish a new Abbeyfield Ilkley costing £9 million I doubted that it was possible, having seen a great many smaller appeals in the area fail. I am delighted to have been proven wrong and am happy that the Sir George Martin Trust has been able to help. I have been tremendously impressed with how the appeal has been run and applaud the committee and their advisor, Patrick Boggon of Tarnside Consulting, for the great job that they have done.”

Peter Marshall OBE – Secretary, Sir George Martin Trust.
