Winning funding for the causes that matter most.


Helping purpose-driven organisations secure funding and tell their story with clarity and impact.


We work with organisations to secure funding and strengthen their written communications.
From persuasive bids and clear strategies to compelling stories, we combine insight into funders’ priorities with strong writing to give your projects the best chance of success.


With over 20 years’ experience on both sides of the funding table, we know what makes a strong application.
We’ve written successful bids, helped design evaluation frameworks, and assessed applications for funders - experience that gives you a real advantage when it comes to securing support.

We take time to get to know your organisation - what you do, why it matters, and the challenges you face.
Every piece of support is shaped around your needs, whether that’s finding the right opportunities, crafting a persuasive bid, or polishing a final draft.
We keep things clear and straightforward, work to realistic timelines, and aim to build relationships that last beyond a single project.

We work with charities, community groups, and social enterprises of all sizes, across a range of sectors including education, skills, youth, community development, and wellbeing.
Whether you’re a small volunteer-led group or a large national organisation, we bring the same care, commitment, and expertise to help you secure the funding you need.
