Grant Writing Masterclass
The Grant Writing Masterclass is designed to help you effectively navigate the grant writing landscape and craft a winning grant application.
The grant process is complex, highly competitive, time consuming, and what you need for success is not always clear.
Designed for ambitious startups looking for funding across all sectors, this two-day, hands-on workshop will equip you with deep insights into the grant funding landscape, valuable 1-2-1 support from expert grant writers, and the skills to use AI tools to help write your next application.
This programme will be held at Solid Solutions in Hammersmith, London.
This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The people I have met here make it a dream coming in a few times a week! I don't see myself being able to go back to working from home the same way I did before coming to Plus X Innovation, I don't think I could leave the sense of community behind. It really is something everyone who is working from home should try!
Central Research Laboratory has contributed to our journey in many ways: access to a network, manufacturing, procurement services, and workshop facilities. CRL enables us to feel like a slightly bigger company than we would otherwise be if left to our own devices. Being here at CRL as a cohort member, makes it feel a lot more real and plugged in into the ecosystem.
Besides the workshop facilities, the best thing about working in the Brighton hub has got to be being able to collaborate with people in the same building as you. The variety of expertise and experience in the building is awesome.
Through my time at Plus X Innovation my business has turned from a student project into a registered R&D company. My favourite thing about being at Plus X Brighton is having a mini family in the office and a beautiful space to be the best you and make the best connections.
We could not be in a better place to grow as a company. We get amazing support from the Plus X Innovation staff, plus collaboration opportunities with the other inspiring residents and companies. We feel like we’re living in the future of workplaces in the present and that is pretty damn cool.
