Funding Route-Map Call
75-minute call plus a two-page action note. Best when your committee has several possible ideas and needs a sensible route before writing starts.
Scoped Pieces Of Work, Not Vague Consultancy Days
Services And Prices.
You buy a defined piece of funding help: a route-map, a bid, a review or a monthly support slot. The fee is agreed before the bid goes in.
Price Slabs
What It Costs To Book The Work.
£520 to £850
Small Grant Application
Usually under £10,000. The range depends on the funder’s form, the evidence already held and how much budget work is needed.
£950
Awards For All Or Equivalent
Fixed fee where the project is agreed, accounts are ready and the organisation can make decisions quickly.
£1,450 to £3,200
Larger Trust Or Statutory Bid
Applications between £10,000 and £75,000. Quoted after a document review, because weak figures can double the work.
£285
Bid Review And Strengthening
One application up to 4,000 words, returned with marked-up comments within five working days.
£780 Per Month
Monthly Funding Support
Up to eight hours of research, drafting and funder correspondence for groups with steady funding needs.
Included In The Work
The Fee Covers The Thinking, Not Just The Typing.
- Funder research and eligibility checks before drafting.
- Budget testing, including match funding, volunteer hours and evidence for costs.
- Evidence requests, outcome wording and project timetable shaping.
- Drafting and editing in the funder’s structure, not a generic sales pitch.
- Submission support where the client has supplied logins, authority and final sign-off.
- Light-touch monitoring support, including simple outcome measures, attendance sheets, funder update notes and light monitoring templates.
Lead Times
Good Bids Need Room For Evidence.
3 Weeks
Usual lead time for a small grant where the documents are ready.
5 to 8 Weeks
Usual lead time for larger trust, foundation or statutory applications.
25% Surcharge
Urgent work inside 10 working days is accepted only if the bid is realistically recoverable.
“We do not take a slice of community money. The fee is agreed before the bid goes in.”

- No success-fee-only grant writing, commission arrangements or percentage cuts from awarded funds.
- No applications for organisations without a constitution, CIC registration, charity number or other clear governing document.
- No bids where the project is already finished, figures cannot be evidenced or safeguarding is unclear.
- No tenders for commercial contracts, procurement portals or private investment decks.
