Last year, we helped Westminster’s voluntary organisations and charities to raise over £350,000 from statutory and trust funders. Ask us to check your draft application, or find out more about our application-writing services.

Draft application checks

Have a draft application, but want some tips on how to improve your chances of success?

Book an appointment with our development team to get comments on your draft application and project budget, and advice on possible improvements.

Thanks to funding from Westminster City Council and the Big Lottery, we’re able to offer this service free of charge.

To make an appointment, call us on 020 7723 1216 or email general@vawcvs.org

Application writing and funder research

Want someone to write an application on your behalf? Or need a shortlist of funders who may be interested in your work?

We offer a range of fundraising services, including:

• writing applications
• researching potential funders
• in-house training

Our fundraiser, Angela Wilson, has raised over £1million from grant-making trusts in the last five years, and has years of experience of working with Westminster’s voluntary organisations.

We don’t receive funding for this service so we need to charge a fee. Why do we charge for these services?

To find out how we can help, or for a free quote, please contact Angela Wilson on 020 7535 0498 or email awilson@vawcvs.org
