concise standard funding bid? Are you communicating with people or just 
excluding them? Do you know your own organisation well enough? 

Are you thinking through your projects carefully enough? Do you know enough 
about your competitors? Are you answering the questions funders will ask

Feedback From Past Attendees
I must say I was really impressed with the course and the content. My knowledge 
and confidence has increased hugely. I got a lot from your course and a lot of 
pointers! 
I can say after years of fundraising I learnt so much from your bid writing 
course. It was a very informative day and for someone who has not written bids 
before I am definitely more confident to get involved with them. 
I found the workshops very helpful. It is a whole new area for me but the 
information you imparted has given me a lot of confidence with the direction I 
need to take and for that I am very grateful.  
I found the day very informative and it gave me confidence to take on this 
aspect of work that I had been apprehensive of.  I enjoyed the session and 
found it valuable. 
So much relevant, practical information all passed on in a way which I was able 
to follow. All greatly enhanced by your sense of humour. 
It was a useful course and your examples real or otherwise helped to make it 
practical. Many thanks. The morning just flew by - always a good sign! I 
enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. I will begin putting this into practice.
