Our services
Practical support, tailored to your organisation.
We focus on three areas where clear, experienced support makes a real difference. Work with us on one, or combine them into a joined-up package.
How we work
Every engagement starts the same way: understanding your reality.
We don't apply a template. We start with a conversation about your organisation, capacity and goals — then agree a level of support that fits.
Initial conversation
A short call to understand your context, deadlines and priorities.
Agree focus and approach
We decide together which area of work to prioritise and how to structure support.
Gather and draft
We collect key information and prepare drafts, working at a pace that suits your team.
Review, refine, submit
You review and add detail; we refine until everything is clear, accurate and funder-ready.
Follow up and learn
We support submission and use any feedback to strengthen future work.
Grants & funding bids
Bid Writing
Many organisations are doing excellent work but struggle to find time — and the right words — to explain it to funders. We help you find realistic opportunities and submit clear, honest bids that show the difference you make.
You don't need a polished project plan to get started. If you have a rough idea, we can help shape it into something funders can understand and support.
Talk to us about a bidWhat's included
- Scanning for realistic grants and funding calls that fit your organisation and project.
- Checking eligibility and guidance so you only apply for the right opportunities.
- Drafting and editing applications, budgets and supporting documents.
- Preparing case studies and evidence where funders require them.
- Reviewing previous bids and feedback to strengthen future applications.
- Supporting you to submit on time, with consistent and complete documents.
Good to know: No consultant can guarantee funding — decisions sit with funders. What we can do is ensure your bids are clear, eligible, realistic and well-presented, and help you learn from any unsuccessful attempts.
Boards & leadership
Strategic Planning
Lots of organisations know what they want to do — but putting it into a plan that's realistic, coherent and fundable is harder than it sounds. We facilitate that process and help you produce documents that funders can follow easily.
Particularly useful if your board or committee has lots of ideas but needs a clearer picture of priorities, timelines and what's actually achievable with your current capacity.
Discuss a planning projectWhat's included
- Facilitated sessions with trustees, staff or volunteers to clarify priorities and agree direction.
- Support to define outcomes, milestones and realistic measures of success.
- Creating or refining strategic plans, project plans and theory-of-change documents.
- Mapping funding opportunities against your plans so bids are consistent and coherent.
- Review of existing plans and honest feedback on what's realistic given your capacity.
Ideal if: you have a mix of ideas but no agreed plan, you're starting a new project, or your board needs a clearer picture of the next 12–24 months.
Contracts & e-tenders
Tender Management
Tenders are often time-consuming, compliance-heavy and easy to miss. We monitor relevant portals, highlight the right opportunities and manage the process from start to submission — so tenders stop being a source of stress.
Whether you're new to tendering or regularly submitting but struggling to keep up, we can help you respond with confidence to the contracts that matter most.
Talk about tender supportWhat's included
- Monitoring relevant tender portals and flagging suitable opportunities in time to act.
- Reviewing documents, deadlines and compliance requirements before committing.
- Drafting responses, gathering evidence and completing submission forms.
- Project-managing the process, including internal deadlines and quality checks.
- Supporting you to build a library of reusable information for future tenders.
Useful if: tenders feel overwhelming, are often missed, or are being squeezed in around your other work at short notice.
Not sure which service fits?
That's fine. Most organisations start that way.
We'll ask a few simple questions about your organisation, priorities and budget — then suggest what makes most sense. You don't need a fully formed idea to reach out.
