The funding process is broken.

UK charities spend at least £900m a year applying for grants, and most applications fail.

No time to search.

Thousands of funders, all with different criteria. By the time you find the right one, the deadline has passed.


9 hours
to complete an average grant application

No insider knowledge.

Funders reward applications that speak their language. Without someone who’s done it before, strong work gets overlooked.


59%
of grant applications are unsuccessful

Too expensive.

Experienced bid writers are scarce. A freelancer charges by the day, and a fundraiser costs a salary most small charities can’t afford.


38%
of small charities’ grant income is spent on applying

What difference will your project make?

Over 12 months, 120 young people aged 14 to 19 will complete weekly one-to-one mentoring. Last year 78% of our mentees reported improved confidence, and 64% moved into training or work within six months. This grant funds two more mentors, so we can take referrals from three more schools.
