Funding Partnership — Counselling and Support for Young People
More time delivering. More funding secured.
A proposal prepared specifically for Counselling and Support for Young People — supporting your mental health work across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire. We help charities like yours turn the trusts & foundations landscape into a reliable, managed income stream.
We’ve taken the time to understand Counselling and Support for Young People
The principle activities are:Counselling young people using volunteer counsellors working in schools and youth centres.Training volunteer counsellors in-house and using external trainers.Training school staff in relevant issues.Training young people in schools.
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 funding is there. The capacity to win it usually isn’t.
Funders are prioritising early-intervention and community mental health like never before. The barrier for most small charities is capacity to research and write quality bids — not a lack of fundable work.
- We identify the trusts and foundations whose priorities genuinely match Counselling and Support for Young People — 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 early-intervention counselling and wellbeing programme as a realistic first goal.
