The Fundraising Support service provides hands-on, practical help with one of the most valuable and time-consuming parts of running a charity – securing grants and funding from trusts, foundations and other funders.

Grant writing is at the heart of this service, but I also support charities with other income streams, including legacies, Gift Aid and corporate sponsorship, helping you build a fundraising approach that’s diversified and sustainable and not reliant on a single source.

How it works

I start by understanding your organisation, your projects and what funders are likely to respond to. From there, I research suitable grant opportunities and write clear, compelling applications that reflect your charity’s impact and needs. Alongside this, I can advise on strengthening your approach to legacy giving, making sure you’re maximising Gift Aid, and identifying opportunities for corporate sponsorship or partnerships,– whether that’s for a one-off project or ongoing support.

What you’ll get

• Research into relevant grant, trust and foundation opportunities
• Well-written, tailored grant and funding applications
• Guidance on legacy fundraising, Gift Aid and corporate sponsorship
• Practical, achievable recommendations focused on the greatest return for your time and resources

Who is it for?

Ideal for charities looking to secure more grant funding, while also building a more diverse and resilient income base for the future.
