No matter whether your play space plans are in their infancy or whether they are more developed – SMP can work with you to help define and refine your project.

We adopt a tried, tested and trusted ‘consultancy’ approach to fundraising and it’s an approach that works.

Over the years we have helped community and voluntary groups like yours secure £000’s of funding and financial assistance – and, what’s more, we’re getting better at it year-on-year.

Positive intervention
Unlike some organisations our help and intervention doesn’t involve supplying you with lists of unqualified names and contact numbers.

Instead we have clear systems and processes that we follow that help us plan and implement our fundraising strategies, and monitor and review our performance against plan.

Fundraising, or more importantly, being good at fundraising isn’t rocket science. But it is to do with having clear, agreed and achievable goals and objectives; realistic timescales and funding expectations and having the perseverance to ‘stick to your guns’ when or if things don’t turn out the way you’d hoped, as well as the flexibility to adapt and modify plans in what can often be new and unchartered environments.

We understand that fundraising may not be your forté, and that you may have limited resources (time and people) that you can draw upon. We also appreciate that you may feel uncomfortable and awkward approaching organisations for funding help and support, or believe that your inexperience will count against you.

But with our help – it doesn’t have to be this way.
