Bid Writing

I have a wealth of experience writing funding bids for cultural projects and am passionate about helping artists get that essential funding so you can make your idea happen!

I have written applications covering, research and development of ideas; engagement and community projects; organisational development; tours; and Developing Your Creative Practice applications.

I am available as an Access Support Worker for Arts Council England funding bids and have experience working with a range of access needs.

Please get in touch on hello@alicemassey.co.uk if you are looking for someone to support you with a funding application and we can talk through how I could help.

“Alice was great from start to finish. I felt supported and also the context of my work in circus felt understood which made the whole process less stressful. Would 100% recommend her as DYCP funding support"

"Alice walked us through the whole process of funding and made it a much less daunting prospect. To be able to enter a new project, make sense of our endless slew of notes, emails and documents and consolidate them all down into an engaging, consise bid ready for submission, has been nothing short of impressive. Alice has also deepened the scope of our project by asking questions about aspects of the project which we hadn’t even considered before."

"Alice is a supportive and dedicated producer, she not only has a great knowledge of theatre production, touring and bid writing, but her creative input is incredibly valuable. She has great interpersonal skills, and was always able to give advice. Being Dyslexic means the writing process is slow for me, she made it feel easy and we rocketed through three successful Arts Council applications!"

"Alice provided me with excellent bid writing support and together, we have had three consecutive ACE funding grants awarded! I always feel Alice listens and understands my ideas and she helps me nurture and develop these into coherent, well-written answers for the dreaded ACE form! As a dyslexic person, this kind of support was crucial as writing is a big barrier. I couldn't have done it without her. "
