Consultancy Services

We help organisations scan for opportunities, identify their fundraising goals, and create roadmaps to guide their future success. We develop strong funding bids, with our up-to-date knowledge and wealth of experience of current funding trends and requirements. We support organisations to gather the evidence they need and develop a case for support, as well as devising project plans and budgets. We write full funding bids from scratch to submission, ranging from small one-off project grants to multi-year core funding bids. 

We conduct research to answer specific questions, explore systems and gain insights. We devise and conduct bespoke evaluations of projects and programmes, working with organisations to identify their questions and using a range of quantitative and qualitative techniques, community engagement and creative methods, to gather and analyse insights. We develop Theories of Change and logic models to provide robust rationale behind evaluation frameworks, ensuring that impacts are recognised and evidenced. We produce reports and recommendations to maximise impacts, learning from results, and developing strengths. 

We are proactive in identifying needs in the sector and exploring ways to create systems change. Our recent work has explored Disability Leadership, Disabled Artists navigating arts careers, a programme of advocacy for EDI, the development of a network for creatives for sharing knowledge, making connections and generating new collaborations, and promoting Climate Literacy and environmentally responsible practice. We also support other organisations who champion racial justice and disabled access.
