Grant Applications, Awards & Business Plans

Helping you turn ideas into successful grant applications, award submissions and business plans.

Overview

Applying for grants, funding programmes or business awards can be time-consuming, frustrating and often overwhelming. Even the strongest ideas can miss out on funding if they are not presented clearly or aligned with the assessment requirements.

I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, charities and community organisations to develop grant applications and award submissions that showcase their strengths and enhance their chances of success.

Whether you’re applying for funding for the first time or responding to feedback from a previous application, I can support you in preparing a professional and persuasive submission.

Grant Application Support

I provide practical, hands-on support to help you:

  • Understand and interpret grant assessment criteria.
  • Align your application with funder objectives.
  • Develop a strong, clear and engaging narrative.
  • Clearly demonstrate your project’s value, outcome and impact.
  • Refine content to maximise impact within word and character limits.
  • Strengthen the quality, structure and clarity of your application.
  • Review and proofread before submission.

Award Application Writing

Successful award applications require more than simply answering questions. They need a well structured submission that highlights achievement, innovation and measurable results.

I can support you to:

  • Identify and articulate your key achievements.
  • Showcase measurable outcomes and successes.
  • Structure responses to maximise their impact.
  • Maintain consistency and professionalism throughout your submission.
  • Increase your chances of standing out from other applicants.

Business Plan Development

Need a business plan but don’t know where to start?

I can help you develop a professional and practical business plan that provides direction, focus and a roadmap for growth.

Whether you are:

  • Launching a new business.
  • Expanding an existing operation.
  • Applying for funding.
  • Planning for long-term growth.

Tailored Support I will work with you to create a credible business plan tailored specifically to your goals and circumstances.

What clients say

Lucy helped me with a grant application that had been declined. She has a way of linking concepts and eliciting information. My application was approved immediately after working with Lucy and I was able to attend a conference in California as a result!

If you are struggling with a grant application, I highly recommend Lucy; it’s well worth the investment.
