Freelance bid writer · funding consultant · theatre producer
Funding support that turns good ideas into strong applications
Practical bid writing, funding advice and project-development support for charities, CICs, arts organisations and community groups.
Practical, realistic support
A partner for small organisations
Good projects are not always easy to express in a funding form. Organisations may have strong ideas and genuine community support but lack the time, capacity or outside perspective needed to shape a convincing application.
I bring hands-on experience of developing funded projects, preparing applications and budgets, planning delivery, building partnerships and explaining impact. I will help strengthen a viable proposal, identify weaknesses early and be honest when an opportunity is not a good fit.
