Rosie Chadwick
Rosie specialises in helping voluntary organisations secure contracts, grants and social investment and strengthen their approaches to impact measurement and management.
Key skills & experience
Before joining Eastside Primetimers Rosie had a rich and varied career, first as a civil servant then later as a charity director in two national charities with roles involving policy and innovation, operations, strategy and new business development. A highly skilled and experienced bid writer, Rosie has led a number of successful multi-million pound tenders. She brings writing and analytical skills fine-tuned in Whitehall and from writing varied publications. She also has a strong understanding of the many different elements that lie beneath a winning tender – from understanding the market and how to stand out in it to building strong commissioner relationships to co-design with service users, demonstrating impact and responding to the brief – and what these involve in practice.
