Having been a funder and commissioner of services from the Third Sector for several years, I understand the funder’s mindset and know what makes a great bid stand out from the rest.

Here’s some recent feedback from a Children and Young People’s service provider who bid to the Gloucestershire Prevention Fund and won a three year contract:

“Having someone whose ability I trusted in to read through my application and provide quality feedback was invaluable.  Rachel gave some very interesting feedback on our organisation that will lead to us making some critical changes in the future.” JC, Cheltenham.

Being able to describe and cost what your organisation does is an important starting point before applying for grants. What difference do you make to your clients and service users? How can you prove it? How much do your services really cost?

I work with you to get a handle on all these factors so your grant application or contract bid will be evidence-based and convincing.
