How we make
a difference
View some of our recent case studies below
The Forestry and Arboriculture Training Fund
We’re working with DEFRA and the Forestry Commission on the administration of a new grant fund increasing the number of individuals with forestry and woodland management skills. This was designed to support a significant increase in tree planting and funded by the Nature for Climate Fund, ensuring that we will have enough people with the right skills to plan, plant and manage new woodlands as part of the UK push toward net zero.
Legal Aid Training Grant scheme
Ministry of Justice awarded EMB this contract with a brief to support them to develop and design awarding criteria for the scheme, alongside a competition for grant funding, as well as to deliver the competition, collect evaluation and monitoring data form grant recipients, and process monthly grant claims for payment.
Listed places of worship grant scheme
DCMS awarded EMB this contract with a brief to create a new website and digitise the grant application process while retaining offline channels and a telephone support line. With a fund of more than £40m per annum, this is a high-volume scheme with a range of users across the digital spectrum supported by Diligenz, our fully integrated grant platform.
Memorials Grant Scheme
The Memorials Grant Scheme contract is delivered by EMB on behalf of DCMS and compliments the Listed Places of Workshop Grant scheme.
The contract was awarded to EMB with the brief to create a new website and a digitised grant application process. With an annual fund of £0.5m, the scheme operates via Diligenz, our fully integrated grant platform.
