1:1 Support

MDM offers 1:1 support across a range of topics through bookable surgeries.

Spectrum Surgeries

Our colleagues at Collections Trust are offering a limited number of surgeries to museums in the Midlands focused on the Spectrum standards. This could be support with documentation policies or procedural manuals, helping you approach a documentation backlog or to understand areas of the Spectrum standard such as object entry.

Please complete the survey form to book your surgery.

Please note: Collections Trust cannot proof-read or assess documents for Accreditation but policies and plans can be supplied in advance of the advice surgery to provide useful context for discussion.

Organisational Health

Now available - a limited number of surgeries with Tonia Collett.

These surgeries could cover issues such as governance, sustainability and fundraising.

Please complete the survey form to book your surgery.

Bid-writing Support

Available during the MDM Open Grants Programme, cultural engagement consultant, Jenni Waugh, provides a limited number of free, one to one bid-writing surgeries.

During the surgeries, Jenni looks over your first draft and then provides tailored feedback and coaching to ensure you write a strong bid that meets the funding criteria and develop a project that will genuinely benefit your business plan. Although no success is guaranteed, Jenni aims to help you learn bid planning and writing techniques that can be scaled up for applying to larger funding programmes.

Fundraising Power Hour

Our colleagues at Cause4 are offering a free hour of consultancy support, giving you guidance, resources and a sounding board for new ideas. This power hour can be focused on a range of areas including income generation, fundraising strategy, or governance challenges, and is led by one of Cause4’s senior consultants.
