I know how overwhelming business funding can feel, because I’ve been there. But funding is essential to scale your business, especially when your business has a social or environmental mission. My mission is to help you secure funding with clarity and confidence.
Speaking at Graduate Fashion Week 26, Careers Quarter.

How Does It Work?
Looking for a specific service or not quite sure where to start? Book a discovery call to discuss your challenges and Lucy will share her honest insights into what you need to do next. Sometimes it looks like moving forwards with a proposal tailored to your needs, other times it may be mentoring calls to support you in the word you are already doing.
“Before working with Lucy we felt stuck in our funding process. It helped us to see funding differently and open more possibilities.“

Lucy’s Funding Journey
To launch The WIP, I used personal savings, crowdfunding, and a startup loan, and even explored investment. Six months in, however, I struggled to generate sales and eventually ran out of money. Admitting that a lack of confidence was holding me back from growing my business was a major turning point.
As a female founder and mother who pivoted a failing business, I know what it feels like to be overlooked and underestimated. I draw on this personal transformation and hundreds of hours of mentoring to inform all the 1:1 consultancy support and workshops I deliver.
