**Following its successful pro bono work for the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA)
last year, the Whitehouse Consultancy is offering to provide a total public affairs
and political lobbying package to one organisation, free of charge.**

The political consultancy is seeking applications from charities and voluntary organisations
which feel they would benefit from public affairs support but are otherwise unable
to fund such activity.

The selected organisation will receive full support to achieve their public policy
aims for one year, whether they require a higher profile in Westminster, want to
see a specific change in policy, are seeking greater government backing for their
cause or need to locate sources of statutory funding.

Paul Smith, Executive Director of the Spinal Injuries Association, said of the support
his charity received from Whitehouse:

> “The profile of SIA with politicians and civil servants has been raised hugely
> by Whitehouse under their guidance. Not only did they help us get meetings with
> key decision makers and influencers, they also provided excellent advice and have
> been hands-on with the campaigning activities – we could not have asked for more.
> “In doing so, Whitehouse has left us with a lasting legacy, having enabled us 
> to continue our vital work after the pro bono period has ended.”
