Bid Writing Service: Simple & Cost Effective
It goes without saying that the need for fundraising in schools is becoming increasingly essential.
Organisations such as PTA's, Friends Groups or other stakeholder support groups provide valuable services to schools, but in order for effective fundraising the school itself must, inevitably, be the driver.
It is evident that some schools are more effective in achieving funding from bid submissions and external sources than others. This discrepancy in providing quality resources and facilities for teaching and learning leads to confusion for parents when selecting schools, jealousy between schools themselves and inconsistency in the provision of quality education to the most important element in schools - the students.
School Business Services provides a service which is simple and effective in overcoming many of the problems associated with fundraising.
We are well aware of the myriad of websites, fundraising publications, project funding sources and application forms that need to be researched and completed before any funding is actually received. There are various subscription rates, with some being seemingly expensive, whilst others appear much cheaper.
As value for money is vital to every school, we know just how difficult it can be to ensure that a subscription to a service actually provides exactly what you want and need.
School Business Services offers a different approach to this issue.
We provide a consultation to establish how we may help the school achieve the aims of the school improvement plan, the precise funding streams that are available to accomplish those aims and how those funding streams can be attained.
The half day consultations will comprise a visit to your school to provide advice and assistance with bid submissions for projects that the school wish to consider. Schools can purchase additional time to support the development of further bids should this be required.
We provide a professional and comprehensive package tailored to meet your requirements which removes workload from school staff and seeks to provide successful solutions in areas which are often complex and problematic.
