EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance update

For many Health and Social Care (HSC) employers securing access to funding to support recruitment, training and retention often feels like a lottery, with many organisations lacking the in-house expertise or resources to fully identify and win bids. This means many are simply missing out on significant support that can help deliver transformational change.

EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance intends to change that.

Collaboration is key.

We have a growing ecosystem of experts who will work with EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance partners to pinpoint opportunities that are a good fit, write winning proposals and deliver fully compliant and successful programmes.

If you like the sound of our Funding Alliance or simply want to find out more, then simply register your interest. Joining is completely free and we will only use your details to keep you updated on our progress.

Partner benefits

Access to an experienced team

As the organisation behind  EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance,  we have more than 20 years of experience in creating training, qualification and compliance solutions for the HSC sector. During that time, we have built an eco-system of experienced experts and consultants who now form part of our extended team.

Enhanced recruitment, training and retention

Our team will work with you to build an integrated recruitment and development pathway that will deliver a pipeline of new starters and also ensure experienced staff are supported with career progression.

Funding identification

We will work with EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance partners on either an individual or consortium basis to help identify suitable bids from the hundreds that are published each year. Our experts continually monitor the market and can alert you to any potential opportunities.

Bid Strategy

A winning bid strategy requires inputs from a wide variety of experts and most importantly, needs to align the organisation goals with the bid objectives and outcomes. The team behind the EdgeWorks™ Funding Alliance has a track record of successful bids and we understand how to position our partners to ensure success.

Bid writing and submission

Successful bid writing takes time and experience. Our team will manage the bid process from start to submission, meeting all of the deadlines and doing all of the heavy lifting. This enables you to focus on building your business and developing your team.

Programme development

Making sense of UK funding is often complex and time-consuming and a lack of strategic overview can often result in training programmes failing to maximise their potential or simply not being fully integrated into the organisation. We have the experience and the team to help our Funding Alliance partners create winning programmes.

Delivery and compliance

Winning bids is only the start, here at EdgeWorks™ we know how to manage and deliver contracts ensuring full compliance and a successful outcome. We can manage all of the required MIS systems, Individual Learner Records (ILR) along with any audit or inspection requirements so our Alliance partners can avoid any administration overhead.
