Funding applications
Put forward your best case with clear insights regarding the unique needs of your community.
We work with you to understand how best we can support your needs, from on-the-spot training on existing tools such as Community Profile or Social Atlas to detailed bespoke consulting.
1. We learn about your needs
An initial phone or video call to understand the question or issue you're grappling with.
2. We consider solutions
What solution best supports your needs and budget? How much can you "self-serve" using existing tools? How would engaging our consulting services benefit you?
3. We do the analysis
Assuming your solution needs more than tools training or data extraction, our experts take data and turn it into meaningful stories that answer the question you have. The format and delivery method of these stories (from static reports to interactive dashboards) depends on your requirements.
4. We share our insights
We invest in ongoing relationships with our council partners; a big part of that is constantly proving ourselves reliable and trustworthy. Our collaborative approach has proven the best method for delivering meaningful results, and we see every delivery as an opportunity to continue our relationship rather than close it.
