Partnership scheme
Up to 70% off your Project Grant application
Our partnership scheme applies to Arts Council England Project Grant applications only. Eligible applications can be written for up to 70% less than our standard fee when our partner company, Bright Box Solutions, joins your project as a paid delivery partner, providing creative and digital support such as documentaries, websites, evaluation and much more.
It's entirely your choice. We'll only suggest it where it genuinely strengthens your project, and Bright Box's role and fees are always set out clearly before anything is submitted. If you'd rather not include Bright Box, we can still write your application at our standard fee.
Subject to eligibility. The writing fee is paid by you, not from the grant. No one can guarantee funding.

“Cheryl was a brilliant bid writer, she listened to what I was hoping to offer and then tailored the bid to that. Her skills in understanding what the funders need to know certainly was why we got the funds and were able to present workshops to raise awareness around hoarding behaviour. Thank you UK Grant Writer from me and all the people who came to the workshops!!”
“Cheryl was an amazing help through the entire process. She was efficient, reliable, trustworthy and quick. I was worried about having such a tight deadline, but she worked way ahead of what I expected and helped me turn in a really great application.”
“…contact Cheryl, she's fantastic and she does exactly what she says she will do for a reasonable cost… Highly recommended.”
