Application Review & Strengthening
Before you submit, get a second pair of eyes.
I review your whole application, budget and supporting documents, with section-by-section feedback, suggested wording and practical fixes to strengthen your bid.
Personally handled by Matt.
Working artist and fundraiser.
Co-director of an ACE-funded theatre company.
What you receive
- An honest view of whether the whole application is ready and what already works
- Section-by-section notes: what needs changing, why and how
- Essential fixes separated from secondary improvements
- Checks across your application, budget, activity plan and supporting documents
- Missing evidence, unclear roles and delivery inconsistencies
- Suggested wording and practical fixes to strengthen your bid
Scope and responsibility: You receive detailed strengthening advice across the whole application, not a complete rewrite. You check the facts and make the final revisions. I confirm the fixed price and delivery date before payment.
Detailed, clearly structured 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.
