Client reflection

“IXICO have been awarded grant funding on several occasions over the years. We’re used to applying for grants and we have a strong track record of being successful.

We hadn’t picked up on this particular funding opportunity prior to hearing from the ForrestBrown team. They highlighted that the grant call was open and that it looked highly pertinent to what we are doing. It was very helpful that they made us aware.

The grant application timeline was very short, and we were in a busy period, so preparing the application ourselves was not an option. It was clear that if we were going to make this application happen, we needed help. After our call with the ForrestBrown team, I felt we were in the best position possible.

The terms proposed were fair and there was potential for significant funding that we wouldn’t have otherwise achieved.

Our challenge was collecting and presenting the relevant information in the two-week time frame. Across this period ForrestBrown did exactly what they said they would do. They supported us in prioritising the information we needed to provide and then took responsibility for completing the application. It was useful to have the guidance in terms of ‘this is what’s important, perhaps don’t include so much of this’. The team took on the heavy lifting allowing us to take a more review-based role, saving us time and effort. 

Despite our knowledge of the grant application process, we definitely benefitted from the guidance provided by Karim and ForrestBrown’s grant advisory team. Our success in securing the funding has enabled us to progress an important project designed to support early diagnosis of dementias.

I would recommend ForrestBrown. The entire process was professional. There were tight timelines, the team were efficient and delivered exactly what they had promised.

Moving forward, should we prepare any grant applications ourselves, we plan to enlist the ForrestBrown team on an advisory basis to ensure we are putting our best foot forward.”
