WHERE SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR A GRANT OR CONTRACT?
It’s important to make the right type of approach to the right place. We can offer information on many sources of funding – and will support you to identify the ones most likely to support your activities including:
- The Big Lottery Fund
- Charitable Trusts and Foundations e.g. Comic Relief, Lankelly, Tudor, Children-In-Need
- European funding
- Government monies

HOW STRONG ARE YOUR APPLICATION SKILLS?
You’ll be in a contest – you’re up against other organisations who also believe theirs is the best case! A strong application/expression of interest/tender document is essential! We can offer guidance, support and training to enable you to make the best submission you can.
FOR THOSE ALREADY EXPERIENCED:
We can scrutinise your drafts and suggest ways to upgrade them before they reach those who’ll make THE DECISION on whether or not you’ll be successful! Why not let us spot the gaps, work-up the strengths?
