Your work will directly help us fund and deliver bold civic art interventions and national democratic processes that aim to influence real policy change. By building relationships with values-aligned donors, you’ll help turn public will into action and sustain a growing movement for participatory democracy to become the norm in the future of UK political discourse and policy influence.

What are we looking for?

Our role is open to both veteran bid writers, experienced third sector workers who want to try bidwriting, or newcomers to bid writing who want to learn more about bid writing, fundraising strategy and donor research. Someone passionate about expanding civic arts participation, real policy change, and inclusive participatory democracy. Someone who can work independently, demonstrates initiative and is transparent. Someone respectful, trustworthy and cooperates closely with our core team to ensure timely delivery of outcomes.
