Human DYCP review
A human review of your DYCP application before you submit.
I check whether the draft clearly reads as development of your own creative practice, then review the why-now case, activities, future impact, budget and access detail.
Personally handled by Matt.
Working artist and fundraiser.
Co-director of an ACE-funded theatre company.
What you receive
- Feedback on how clearly you explain your creative development
- Why-now and future-practice feedback
- Activity, budget and access checks
- Priority fix list
- Targeted wording where it materially helps
Scope and responsibility: This is the DYCP-specific review and strengthening service, not complete application writing. You receive feedback and suggested wording, then check the facts and make the final revisions.
Detailed DYCP feedback
The review was very detailed and it was clearly structured, so it was easy for me to update my application as per the feedback received.
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: This example separates artistic quality, participant experience and decisions about continuing.
- Environment: This example connects design and touring choices to information the company can record.
- Match funding: This example separates confirmed and expected income, in-kind value and a fallback plan.
Clear responsibilities
Matt checks current assistance rules before accepting writing work. You check every fact, figure, budget line and commitment before submitting. No funding result is guaranteed.
