Creative communications agency, Full Fat, is looking for nonprofits supporting racial, sexual, gender, ability and social equity to apply for its Summer 2024 pro bono scheme.
A yearly commitment, Full Fat has worked with eight organisations over the last four years and is now in its ninth round. The agency will be investing up to £2,500 of time per month throughout the scheme which lasts up to four months.
Full Fat will work with the organisation to provide support on a suite of services that can include profiling, messaging, social media strategy/counsel, media coverage generation or opening up the agency’s network for good.

As part of the pro-bono scheme, Full Fat has previously worked with organisations such as Not A Phase, Compliments of the House, I Like Networking, The Vavengers, DKMS, The Hunger Project and most recently Queer Britain for the Winter 2023 pro-bono scheme where the Full Fat team supported them to create an ambassadors’ network to support the museum’s funding and visibility.
Clara Perez Minones, Account Director at Full Fat said:
“We’re excited to kick off applications for our Summer/Autumn 2024 Pro Bono Scheme, dedicated to empowering UK charities and non-profits.

Eligible organisations, apply now to tap into our resources and expertise, and let’s do great things together!”
