Adam and the team have supported our CIC over the last year in a way that genuinely understands our cause. They took the time to understand our vision and have consistently adapted our applications to highlight the niche we fill and the gap we're addressing. Nothing is ever too much to ask, the contact is regular, the bids are consistent, and the income we've generated speaks for itself.

We've been working with inked. (formerly Foundable) for six months and from the start, Adam and the team made the effort to really understand our organisation. The funding they've helped us secure has been significant, directly enabling us to change the lives of young people in some of the most deprived areas of Birmingham. What stands out is their responsiveness. When we were invited to apply for a major local grant with a 36-hour deadline, they turned around a compelling, successful application without missing a beat. The support goes beyond bid writing, regular calls, strategic input, and a genuine sense that they're invested in what we're trying to do.

With a small team supporting people at risk of offending, homelessness and addiction recovery, we simply didn't have the capacity to chase funding at the level we needed. inked. changed that. More than ten successful bids since we started working together, far outweighing the cost of the service. But it goes beyond the numbers. Adam is always at the end of the phone, whether it's a funding question, a governance challenge or something strategic. For a team our size, that means everything.

We'd only just signed up when the first application landed in our inbox, within days of our initial conversation with Adam. As a charity less than 12 months old, we knew funding would be a challenge, and the team at inked. had to build a bespoke pipeline specifically targeting funders willing to back younger organisations. They did exactly that, without hesitation. We're only at the beginning of our journey, but inked. has already helped us lay the foundations, and for a charity supporting young people with disabilities in London, those foundations matter.
