The Forum is a live music venue and community arts hub with rehearsal rooms and a recording studio delivering educational services and creative activities in central Darlington. It operates as a social enterprise in the form of a Community Benefit Society.
We needed to secure some investment to support our growth plan which includes making ambitious capital improvements to our building on Borough Road. We approached Clive Owen LLP to assist us with the financial modelling and forecasts required for a grant application, to help support our bid for investment.
Eleanor Kay was assigned to support our work and she took great care in understanding our needs and business model which has resulted in a comprehensive set of financial assumptions and forecasts. I would highly recommend Clive Owen LLP and in particular Eleanor and the grants team. This exercise has without doubt strengthened our business case and growth plan, giving confidence in our ability to raise investment and achieve our ambitions.
