The challenge
Alva Development Trust manage the Cochrane Hall on behalf of the community, hosting a wide range of events for all ages.
They required guidance with identifying, articulating and promoting their successes - and also attracting funding in order to improve and expand its services.
How we helped
Through Accelerate, we worked with the group to develop a funding strategy, compiling information so that it was easily available for future applications, and set out a high level plan for where and how to prioritise future grant applications.
We also conducted a digital marketing audit of the organisation, where we set out clear recommendations to support the group in improving their online presence.
The result
New strategic income sources and funding opportunities identified
Improved online visibility leading to increased funding potential and supporters
Thanks to Accelerate, Alva Development trust had the tools and information they needed to begin developing their services.
The group have since improved their online channels, which will in turn bring new supporters and sources of income.
