Recently the Newcastle Under Lyme Branch of Long term HeawardSports Ltd. clients, important Staffordshire youth football charity Staffordshire Ladsandads, received some good news from the Football Foundation small grants programme. A grant of £3,756 has been approved, half of the total £7,512 cost of a new mower.
This small but significant award provides the Newcastle branch of Ladsandads, based at Pool Dam Playing Fields, vital funding for a new mower. Purchase of the new mower will help the branch continue with their successful campaign to enhance the quality of the facilities on-site by upgrading the quality of grass cutting regime possible whilst also saving valuable volunteer time. The mower was identified as a key improvement by Staffordshire FA in a recent pitch improvement report completed for the site.
The new mower is the third project that HeawardSports Ltd. has helped the Newcastle Branch secure grant aid to deliver. Previous grants have provided much-needed perimeter fencing to the site and a new toilet block. This project is a great example of the excellent working relationship that exists between ourselves, the local FA and grounds maintenance equipment specialists Campey Turf Care who were able to offer a fantastic price on the new equipment.
Over 430 children regularly play football at Pool Dam during the football season so the impact of this grant will be huge!
HeawardSports Ltd is a company I have worked with on several projects now and I have found that they...
Andrew taught me so much when it came to capital projects. I enjoyed working alongside him during the renovation of the Wallace Centre, which went on to be a hugely successful project. Highly recommended.
I would encourage any charity, CIC or any organisation whose mission is to make a difference to get in touch with Andrew. From accessing grant funding to crowdfunding or sponsorship, Andrew's experience will be invaluable to your organisation.
Heaward Solutions has provided bid writing support for two charities I've been involved with, both focused on developing young people, but of different sizes, staff teams, and priorities. Their support has enabled some crucial successes that we'll build upon to grow and develop our work. What they do well enables us to focus on the work we do well, genuine partnership working.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Andrew Heaward on two successful rounds of grant funding, and I am thrilled to offer my highest recommendation for him.
Andrew recently supported us with a large, multi-year bid for core funding for our charity. We have not worked with a bid writer before, and we were so glad we did, as thanks to Andrew's expert approach we seamlessly progressed to the stage 2 site visit, eventually securing over £120k.
Andrew has worked closely with the Senior Leaders of Burton YMCA in delivering a fundraising strategy. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to any Business Leader or Charity Leader in developing and delivering a fundraising strategic programme that will help you and your organisation.
I've worked with Andrew on a recent fundraising project that has both generated significant income and raised awareness in our chosen market place. The resulting raised profile within our sector has meant that we are now experiencing far more inbound calls from the education sector with potential clients both wanting to talk to us and wanting to place orders. I can not praise Andrew and his team highly enough
Andrew was our fundraising consultant for a major capital project. His work was excellent throughout, starting with in-depth research of funding opportunities and then writing applications and other funding documents that really did the job. His knowledge was excellent, he was always available to give advice or make last-minute changes, and got a lot done in a quick time. Thoroughly recommended.
Andrew has been amazing, very professional, knowledgeable yet very realistic. He has provided 5* service in our opinion, and we are very looking forward to having Andrew support and guide us further in the coming months/years in this very exciting growth time of our organisation.
Their expertise in effective fundraising, strategy, monitoring and evaluation, management, and marketing has helped our charity maximise its impact and strengthen its ability to thrive. I am incredibly grateful for their knowledge, patience, and encouragement. I would highly recommend Heaward Solutions to any organisation seeking expert and compassionate support.
Heaward Solutions has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and expertise. They were instrumental in numerous successful funding bids. Their meticulous approach to funding research, and their ability to craft a comprehensive and effective fundraising strategy were particularly impressive. They are an outstanding partner for 4 Community Trust CIC.
