What we're about
No Excuses. Just Impact.
That's not just our motto. It's how we live. Founded by Andy, Fran and Lauren, Rally Fundraising began with a powerful insight: when passionate people rally together, our collective efforts transform communities. Born from our founders' personal experiences in charity events and driven by their twin commitments to community service and personal wellbeing, we've created something truly different: a fundraising company where togetherness powers tangible change.
Our mission and vision
Our approach is refreshingly straightforward: empower communities through targeted charitable initiatives whilst nurturing a culture of wellbeing within our team. Each month, we dedicate one paid morning to supporting our chosen charity through hands-on volunteering, plus another paid morning at the gym. We provide gym memberships as standard because we believe peak performance starts with personal fitness. Small, consistent actions create significant impact - that's the Rally way.
Our Culture
Unity. Integrity. Support. These aren't just words on our wall. They define everything we do at Rally Fundraising. We invest in our people through YuLife benefits, gym memberships, and sponsorships of local football clubs. Our workplace buzzes with energy and inclusion, where every contribution counts and every voice matters. By taking exceptional care of our team, we're better equipped to create extraordinary outcomes for the communities we serve.

Co-Founder
Andy Tomkins
With over 14 years in fundraising - 8 at director level - I've honed the expertise needed to lead successful campaigns. Now, as a Rally Fundraising founder, I'm building a company that delivers outstanding results and helps fundraisers realise their potential.
Life moves at pace for me. I'm a family man with five children and a passion for endurance running, having completed two 100km ultramarathons. I believe in setting the example, inspiring those around me, and prioritising both physical and mental wellbeing.
At Rally, we know today's hard work creates tomorrow's bigger impact. My goal? Helping others achieve fundraising success within a supportive, fulfilling environment.
Co-Founder
Francis Leaver
With over a decade in fundraising, I've developed extraordinary expertise in door-to-door campaigns, once securing 40 long-term donors in a single week. I've worked alongside Andy for more than 8 years and Lauren for 6 years.
In 2025, we combined our expertise to establish Rally Fundraising - now the UK's leading fundraising agency.
Outside work, you'll find me watching football, swimming, or training for 100km endurance events. I've completed three 100km walks to date, including the Jurassic Coast twice and the Thames Path. I'm passionate about the training process, peak physical conditioning, and preparing for these extraordinary challenges.
Co-Founder
Lauren Ward
Seven years in fundraising has taught me something crucial: this isn't just about numbers. My personal best might be signing 10 donors in a single day, but fundraising demands belief, passion and making every conversation count.
After six years working with Andy and Francis, we've built something special. Rally isn't another fundraising company - it's a movement. Our mission is clear: fund change, break barriers, maximise impact.
Beyond fundraising, I thrive on challenge and growth. Sports drive me, particularly football and running. I've completed ultra-endurance events including the Thames Path 50km, Chiltern 25km, and numerous 10km races.
