Spread the Word have contracted Sarah to write numerous funding applications. I particularly like how Sarah asks lots of difficult questions so that she really understands the project, and therefore writes very strong and compelling applications. She writes with great clarity and style and conveys complex projects very simply. I don’t hesitate to recommend her.
