“Monika’s training really works.”
Thank you, Monika for your fantastic bid writing workshop! It grew my confidence and honed skills to articulate and boldly pitch our USP.
We were awarded substantial funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, including for my administrative time which has made a huge difference to our delivery of learn to cycle and group ride sessions. We are enabling many more women to get on bikes! With gratitude, and Long Live The BMWs”

Raising money to help you deliver your projects isn’t easy. Raising money to keep the lights on can be even harder.
Fundraising and bid-writing training
You’re not a fundraising professional, but you’re staring at a blank page, and you know you have to bring in some money to help the organisation survive. Now what?
How do you build skills internally so you’re not faced with this situation again and again?
How do you build capacity when you know you can’t hire a fundraiser?
How can you feel confident about what you need to write when all you’re staring at is rules about word counts, limitations on how much you can tell the funder and a structure that makes you want to cry?
You’re not alone. So many charities and not-for-profits see trusts or foundations that sound perfect, or pots of money that fit their aims and objectives exactly, but have no idea how to access them. So many charities put funding bids in that they’ve sweated over, confident that they’ve done everything right, yet never get past the first round of decision-making.
Raising money is hard work. There’s a reason that the bigger charities invest in fundraising professionals and have teams of people working on nothing but bringing in the cash. But that doesn’t mean the smaller organisations have to be locked out. I can show you the techniques to ensure the blank page isn’t daunting, to make word counts work for you, to make you stand out against a sea of other applications, and to make funders want to know more.
