What you receive

  • An agreed accessible working process
  • Questions explained in plain English
  • Flexible information capture
  • Accessible working documents
  • A clear record of decisions and responsibilities

Scope and responsibility: This is barrier-removal support, not bid writing, project development or a way around funder rules. Matt checks the permitted support and submission responsibility before accepting the work.

Support shaped around the applicant

The working method should reduce barriers without hiding who supplied the facts, made the decisions or owns the final submission.

Inspect the writing before you enquire

Read genuine redacted extracts before choosing human support. Identifying information is replaced with [redacted], while the underlying wording is retained.

  • Project overview: A short community-photography overview connecting the activity, people and public exhibition.
  • Why now: An earlier theatre application links changing conditions to specific development work.
  • Outcomes and evaluation: The supplied reference separates artistic quality, participant experience and decisions about continuing.
  • Environment: The supplied reference connects design and touring choices to information the company can record.
  • Match funding: The supplied reference separates confirmed and expected income, in-kind value and a fallback plan.

Clear responsibilities
