Funders & partners
Let's build something that changes what people experience.
A concise, due-diligence-ready overview of what MCDWORKS CIC does, how we deliver and how to commission or fund our work.
Community need
Why this work matters
Families and communities continue to describe systems that do not consistently understand them. Practitioners report needing practical, sector-specific tools to translate inclusive-practice intentions into daily decisions. MCDWORKS CIC exists at that intersection.

Commissioning
How to commission or fund
Most partnerships begin with a 20-30 minute call to align scope, timescales and budget. We then send a written proposal with clear outcomes, delivery plan and fee structure. Where relevant, we can supply a capability statement and safeguarding summary.
