Fresh Date

Fresh Date is a charity bid-writing agency with a proven track record in securing funding over several years from Trusts, Foundations, Lottery and Statutory sources. Our clientele include charities, not-for-profit organisations and community groups. Funding through bid-writing and grant applications is a one of the largest avenues in UK charity fundraising. There are a number of different type of grant providers including; Trusts and Foundations - The Directory of Social Change has 4500 listed in their directory who give out a whopping £6 billion annually! Statutory funding - Local & national and European sources give out £2.3 billion annually! Lottery funding - National Lottery money is given out by 12 independent organisations, each with specialist knowledge of their sectors. Despite the huge size of this area most community organisations and charities are not tapping into it. This is usually due to a lack of knowledge and resources. However if done well bid-writing can provide the highest ROI within your fundraising function. Fresh Date is an experienced and successful bid writing agency that can help your organisation successfully secure funding. We have raised over £1 million in funding for clients through bid-writing and other fundraising services. Our recent bid-writing successes have included a £44,145 statutory grant and a £35,000 trust grant towards revenue funding.
