We’ve taken the time to understand Chexs

CHEXS utilises a unique model to build strong families that contribute to a thriving community. By working with the whole family, CHEXS helps parents or carers build strong, positive relationships and trust with their children. We also coach children and young people through a variety of innovative projects designed to build self-esteem, teamwork, problem-solving and tangible skills.

We know small and mid-sized charities are stretched — every hour spent chasing funding is an hour away from the people you support. That’s the gap we’re built to fill.

The opportunity

The funding is there. The capacity to win it usually isn’t.

Health and patient-support charities attract some of the most generous trusts in the country. The difference between a good service and a well-funded one is usually a strong, well-managed application pipeline.

  • We identify the trusts and foundations whose priorities genuinely match Chexs — no scattergun applications.
  • We write compelling, evidence-led bids that put your impact front and centre.
  • We manage the whole pipeline so deadlines are never missed and reporting is never a scramble — with a funded patient-support and rehabilitation programme as a realistic first goal.
What we’d do

A Digital-First approach, end to end

Expert fundraising, run on purpose-built software — so everything is visible, accountable and never lost in an inbox.

Funding audit & research

We map your current income, then research and prioritise the trusts most likely to fund your work — a live, ranked prospect list.

2

Compelling applications

We craft a strong case for support and write tailored bids — targeting 4–6 quality submissions a month once underway.

3

Live pipeline management

Every prospect, deadline and decision tracked in your Funding Management Suite — full transparency, nothing slips.

4

Reporting & stewardship

We handle grant reporting and funder relationships, turning one-off gifts into renewed, multi-year support.

We never take a percentage of the funds you win. Charging commission on grants is against fundraising ethics and the Code of Fundraising Practice — our fee is for our work, never a cut of your funding.

Rolling monthly. 30 days’ notice — no annual contract.
Your data, your relationships. Funders and records always belong to you.
Transparent. Monthly reporting on activity, pipeline and outcomes.
Scalable. Dial activity up or down as funding lands.

Figures are indicative and for discussion — we’ll tailor scope and price to Chexs’s needs and budget.
