Ring to make an appointment or you can send the detail of the project that you are raising funds for and they will email you the search results.The PDS can also provide support around developing a fundraising strategy. This may well include business planning and other organisational health checks. This support is available to organisations that employ staff and work in the social care and health areas. It can also write funding applications on a paid for basis. http://www.bhci.org/performance.htm
