It was also important that the information provided included local funders – to complement the more well-known grant makers – and could be accessed in a variety of ways. Having seen the work that Clare did for the Bristol Diocese, we commissioned a set of 5 funding guides for the Diocese of London. Clare paid special attention to our requirements; contact details, funders requirements, key words and amounts to be offered, and has produced the information in the required layout within the agreed timescales. I am sure this will be a well-used resource by parishes in the Diocese.Carol Ward MInstFParish Fundraising Manager Diocese of London
