Securing grant aid is about as challenging at present as it has ever been as the impact of the energy and cost of living crisis hits home meaning funders are under huge additional pressure from the sector for help due to spiralling operational costs at the same time as donations and other forms of income dwindle. 

Whilst securing grant aid from any bid is never guaranteed as there are factors that can and cannot be controlled at play funding the right funder and submitting a high-quality bid are both essential to stand any chance of success. This is why professional support from a specialist like heaward Solutions can help make all the difference.
