We are the hands-on funding and strategy experts for social enterprises, charities, and small businesses across the UK and Ireland.  We work with a wide range of organisations, including voluntary groups, community organisations, and VCSEs. Our services focus on three main pillars: Funding Support, Strategic & Organisational Development, and Mentoring, Training & Advisory.

Funding Support and Grant Writing
Our primary focus is helping your organisation secure the funding you need. With over 15 years of experience in the field, we offer a hands-on, comprehensive approach. We don't just advise; we act as your partner to find and win grants.

• Grant Writing Services: We proactively identify relevant opportunities and write compelling funding applications on your behalf, providing end-to-end support from needs assessment to submission.
• Interactive Funding: Access our "Funding i" online hub, a dedicated community for charities and changemakers. This hub offers expert funding strategies, exclusive funding opportunities, and essential networking to build your confidence and knowledge.

Strategic & Organisational Development
We help you build a robust foundation for sustained growth and success. We provide specialist support to develop and implement effective strategies and policies.

• Business Planning & Strategy: We create detailed business plans and strategic plans, conduct economic appraisals and evaluations, and provide support for overall organisational growth and development.
• Governance Support: We assist with governance and policy development to ensure your organisation is well-managed and compliant.

Impact Measurement & Mentoring
We believe it's crucial to not only achieve your goals but also prove your value and social impact to funders and stakeholders.

• Impact Reporting: Our expertise includes Social Return on Investment (SROI), a key service that helps you measure and communicate the social and environmental value your work creates.
• Mentoring & Training: We are a hands-on team, offering one-on-one mentoring to help micro and small businesses address complex challenges. We also provide a suite of bespoke online training courses and expert advisory services designed to enhance your team’s skills and long-term viability.
