How Tackling Minds brought its funding into one place…

Tackling Minds is a Community Interest Company using angling to support mental health and wellbeing. Like most small organisations, its funding activity had grown faster than the systems holding it together.

The challenge

As a small CIC, the team needed a simple and affordable way to manage applications and keep track of opportunities — without making the process any more complicated than it already was. Every hour spent hunting for a document or a deadline is an hour not spent delivering.

What they did

The team moved its funding activity into Grant Flow: opportunities, live applications, deadlines and supporting documents, all in one place.

The difference

“Funding is really important to us as a small CIC, but many grant and CRM systems are too expensive for an organisation our size.

“Grant Flow is affordable, easy to use, and helps us keep on top of our applications without overcomplicating things. It gives us the structure we need without the big price tag.” David Lyons, Managing Director

Could Grant Flow work for you?

Tackling Minds’ experience shows that effective grant management doesn’t have to come with a large price tag. Grant Flow provides smaller CICs and community organisations with practical, affordable support to help them secure the funding they need to continue making an impact.

Grant Flow is available to Spring North members for £49 a year, with a free 30-minute walkthrough
