Narrower focus. No new organisations
![Page 17: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

More pressure, slimmer chances

![Page 23: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Moratorium
“Due to an unprecedented number of applications for funding over recent months, caused by the economic downturn, the trustees have decided to close the fund to new applications for the next few months until the current backlog has been attended to”.
![Page 24: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
These things, we can do something about …
• Consultation and User Control
• Developing exemplar projects, perhaps in partnership, to address root causes and/or change policy
• Long term forward planning to target a specific trust fund
![Page 25: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So what does this mean for you?
• Longer planning/consultation timeline• More flexibility• Better measuring, monitoring and evaluation
systems• Greater creativity and innovation• See them as part of a portfolio of funding
options, rather than as your critical funders• Better marketing, branding and positioning
![Page 26: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The future will be increasingly about using your knowledge, skills and experience to find
new and interesting solutions to the problems faced by your
beneficiaries. It will not be about funding your services

The Lack of an Input
‘The Poortown estate needs a community centre because we have nowhere to run education sessions, confidence building workshops, cooperative development activities and a job club’.

The Lack of an Outcome
‘On the Poortown estate unemployment, poverty and crime rates are very high. The drug problem is increasing as young people feel increasingly alienated and have little chance of a job. We have nowhere to run the range of activities that could help improve the quality of life for local people, give them a route out of poverty and create real opportunity for the youngsters.’

How ‘poor nutrition’ can be sold to a variety of funder's
For a funder interested in the welfare of children
Poorly nourished children suffer from increased vulnerability to fatigue, headaches, irritability, inability to concentrate and frequent colds. Iron-deficiency anaemia in children can lead to developmental and behavioural disturbances. Hungry children are less likely to interact with other people or explore or learn from their surroundings.
For a funder interested in education
Poor nutrition has a negative impact on children’s ability to learn in school. School-aged children who are hungry cannot concentrate or do as well as others on the tasks they need to perform to learn the basics. Research indicates that low-income children who participate in School Breakfast Programmes show an improvement in test scores and a decrease in lateness and absenteeism compared to other students who do not eat breakfast.
![Page 59: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
For a funder interested in the welfare of the elderly
Malnutrition caused by poor eating habits can exacerbate chronic and acute diseases and speed the onset of degenerative diseases among the elderly. This not only leads to an unnecessary decrease in the quality of life for many older people, but also increases the cost of health care. National data for people aged 65 to 75 show that a majority are not consuming even two-thirds of the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
For a funder interested in mental health issues
Hunger, and insecurity about whether a family will be able to obtain enough food to avoid hunger, also have an emotional impact on children and their parents. Anxiety, negative feelings about self-worth, and hostility towards the outside world can result from chronic hunger and food insecurity.

Make it Precise
Compare the following statements:
Consumer credit is at an all time high in the UK
AND:
Between us we owe credit and mortgage companies £1 trillion!
![Page 62: Brilliant bid writing darlington age uk](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110302/546281cfaf7959e2278b67c5/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Make it Concrete
Compare the following statements:
Many of the teenagers suffer from social problems. Poverty and drugs use are rising.
AND:
Unemployment amongst 16-25 year olds currently stands at over 80%. These young people have 3 times as much chance of sampling hard drugs before they leave school than those in other areas of Tyneside, such as Heaton, Jesmond or Gosforth. Heroin use has doubled in the last five years. Last month another family lost their 15 year old child to a heroin overdose.

Make it Tangible
Compare:
We now make more telephone calls than ever before.
AND:
In the last 24 hours, more phone calls were made in the UK than during the whole of 1983.

The problem
On the Poortown estate unemployment, poverty and crime rates are very high. The drug problem is increasing as young people feel increasingly alienated and have little chance of a job.

The Outcome
We want to run a range of activities that could help improve the quality of life for local people, give them a route out of poverty and create real opportunity for the youngsters.’

Our method ….
With a new community centre we could achieve this by running education sessions, confidence building workshops, cooperative development activities and a job club.
