Funding / Grant Support
We work with charities to secure grant funding from trusts, foundations, and government sources. Our support includes bid writing, funding strategy development, and creating compelling cases for support. We understand funders’ expectations and help our clients position their work clearly, credibly, and in line with national priorities or global goals, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Governance Review
Strong organisations are built on solid foundations. We help charities review governance, policies, and compliance with regulators like OSCR and the Charity Commission. From board structures to safeguarding, risk and reporting, we make sure your organisation is fit for purpose and ready for growth.
Parker Bay also carries out a ‘Ready for Funding Audit’ to ensure your governance meets the standards expected by funders.
Strategic Support
We help charity leaders and trustees refocus, plan, and move forward with clarity. Whether you're navigating change or preparing for growth, we guide you to set the right direction — with strong governance, clear steps, and the strategy needed to secure funding. Our strategies have supported organisations to gain national funding and government recognition.
Recruitment
We help charities find the right people — from frontline staff to senior leadership and trustees. We also recruit board members who support the long-term direction of the organisation. Where needed, we provide short-term leadership cover or direct support from Greg, ensuring continuity during transitions or staff absence.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Impact
We believe data overcomes fears. At Parker Bay, we support you to track what matters and understand the difference you're making — not just what you're delivering. We help you set up simple, effective tools to measure progress and report on outcomes. We also write independent impact reports for funders like the National Lottery, giving you credibility and helping funders see the value in what you do.
