Work with me to write top quality funding applications to Arts Council England and other funders to secure the funding you need for your creative project
Whether you’re applying to Arts Council England, trusts and foundations or other funders, this might sound familiar.
You’re trying to find the energy to write with enthusiasm, but what you really want to do is rip up the whole thing and throw it in the bin.
You’ve read the guidance doc for the 10th time and think you’ve worked out what the Arts Council wants to know.
And… to make things worse, you’ve got that feeling at the back of your mind, that you’re just not the sort of artist that they want to support.
Unfortunately I can’t magic a finished application out of thin air for you… I wish I could!
What I can do is help you to understand funder language – whether that’s Arts Council England, trusts, foundations, or other funding bodies, so you can work out what exactly it is that they want to know.
I’ll share all sorts of tools and tips to help you to write your application and (most importantly) get funding support and recognition for what you do!
And, I’ll use my skills and experience as a producer and coach to help you to work out exactly what you want, how to say it and where to start!

“Manda gives clear advice which improves your own skills and ambitions. Her feedback is speedy and thorough and helps you to evaluate and project benefits on the go – all to the potential benefit of the project as a whole and not just the funding side. She has energy and curiosity and is a pleasure to work with.”
Paul Sayers & Simon Bolton
Artistic Directors, Rooftop Theatre
“Without Manda we wouldn’t be where we are today. She has a wealth of knowledge within the funding sector.”
Matthew Green
Creative Director, Palace Drum Clinic
“I was very nervous of applying and have been putting it off for several years. The opportunity to build my application with the support of a group of peers going through a similar process, alongside Manda’s excellent knowledge and support, was the impetus I needed – and I am so glad I joined Funding Club.”
