SCRATCH
I write on behalf of SCRATCH (Southampton City and Region Action to Combat Hardship) to offer our wholehearted endorsement of Competitive Solutions Ltd, whose expertise has made a remarkable difference to our mission of tackling furniture poverty among vulnerable individuals and families in Southampton.
Furniture poverty is a hidden but devastating issue affecting many of the people we serve - families living without basic household items like beds, sofas, or dining tables. These are not luxuries; they are essentials for health, wellbeing, dignity, and stability. With the support of Competitive Solutions, we were able to raise vital funds that have transformed lives and brought dignity and comfort to those who needed it most.
The team at Competitive Solutions bring with them fundraising and bid writing acumen which we find critical to securing funding in today’s harsh funding climate.
Their ability to secure core and project resources and forge meaningful partnerships with funders has enabled us to help more people, more effectively, than we could have managed alone.
Thanks to their skills and our hard work, vulnerable families in Southampton and Hampshire now live in homes that feel safe and are functional.
Competitive Solutions didn’t just help us fundraise - they helped us create real, lasting change.
We strongly endorse them to any organisation seeking a proven partner in grant and trust fundraising with a genuine commitment to social impact.
With sincere appreciation,
Mike Smith,
Senior Manager (Operations)
