Tips to groups

  • If you use a professional bid writer, ask them how successful they have been in the past.
  • Commissioners and funders look for joint working, not competition within the sector
  • Always read the funder’s guidance notes fully
  • When writing your application, do so as if explaining your service to someone who knows nothing about you
