Funding

Most funding opportunities are highly competitive and have detailed requirements – making applications complex and time consuming.

At Synergy, our surveyors, bid writers and bid coordinators have extensive experience across a range of different funding streams. We can manage the whole funding process, allowing your team to focus on core operations.

We will support you in robustly defining the proposed project and ensure it meets the funding assessment priorities. With astute attention to detail, our funding experts understand how to close any gaps in the application to give it the best chance of success.

Our Funding Services Include:

  • T Level
  • Urgent Capital Support
  • Various Community/Charity/Sports
  • National Lottery Heritage Funding (NLHF)
Condition Improvement Fund Service (CIF)
We have extensive experience of preparing robust, compelling CIF bids that align with a school’s most urgent condition needs. We have helped to secure funding for both stand-alone academies and multi-academy trusts to ensure schools are kept safe, dry and warm. The annual bidding round usually closes in late December, with outcomes generally announced in the following May/June.

Careful planning and informed decision making is essential to ensuring the SCA investment is targeted where it will have the greatest impact.

We support Multi Academy Trusts with the management of this capital funding through the development of a focused strategic plan of maintenance and repair across all of the schools within a Trust’s Estate.

We provide a thorough review of a Trust’s estate condition that will help prioritise safe, dry and warm learning environments.

Westcliff High School for Boys

“Synergy have helped the school with their CIF bids since 2012, and we have been incredibly successful with our bids during this time. I have been impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the whole team at Synergy, and they have produced attractive and innovative designs that have transformed the school site. Synergy care passionately about the projects and will go the extra mile when managing the developments, and they work tirelessly to ensure that the school gets the best possible solution for the best value for money”
