Producing Practice

You know the project, you know it is worth funding, but you don’t have the time to dedicate to writing the application. Or maybe fundraising feels like a foreign language and you didn’t get into the arts to write funding applications.

This is where I can help.

I have worked on small, mid and large scale funding applications, ranging from £1k to £300k. In 2024, I raised roughly £550k for arts organisations.

I have experience writing and evaluating;
-ACE project grants
-ACE capital investment grants
-ACE NPO
-ACE DYCP and other personal development grants
-Unlimited
-British Council
-Jerwood Foundation
-Other trusts and foundations such as Paul Hamyln Foundation
-Smaller arts organisations, funding bodies & councils such as Peckham Settlement, SISPAN & Southwark Council
-West of England Combined Authority (WECA) and Quartet

I have also worked as an Access Producer, and Outreach Producer for The Dot Collective, Open Aerial, and Hikapee. I love to find creative ways to involve new audiences and help people to feel included.
