Thornton & Lowe bid writing training session

Bid writing training for charities and the third sector

Charities and third-sector organisations are increasingly competing for opportunities to deliver public services, support communities and generate sustainable income. Successfully responding to tenders requires more than explaining the importance of your cause. You also need to demonstrate your organisation's capability, provide convincing evidence and show how your proposed approach meets the buyer's requirements.

Our charity bid writing courses help your team develop these skills through practical training tailored to your organisation. Whether you're new to competitive tendering or looking to improve existing submissions, we can help you understand the bidding process, develop stronger responses and communicate the value your organisation delivers.

Many charities also apply for grants and other funding opportunities. Although these processes differ from public sector procurement, skills such as structuring persuasive responses, presenting evidence and demonstrating measurable impact can support both.

Bespoke bid writing training for your charity

Every charity has different services, resources and experience of competitive tendering. Our bespoke bid writing training allows us to adapt the course content to your organisation's needs, whether you're preparing to compete for public sector contracts for the first time or looking to improve your existing approach.

We can tailor training around the types of contracts you're pursuing, the experience of your staff and the areas where additional support would make the greatest difference. Sessions can include practical exercises, examples and guidance relevant to your team's responsibilities, helping participants apply what they've learned to future bids.

In-house training is particularly useful when several colleagues contribute to tender responses. By bringing your team together, we can help establish a more consistent approach to bid planning, writing and reviewing submissions.

If you're looking for training for an individual team member, we also offer open bid writing courses covering the essential principles of successful tendering.
