**Creative communications agency Full Fat has opened its 2026 pro bono scheme, offering
one charity up to £15,000 worth of agency time. **

[Applications are open](https://www.wearefullfat.com/blog/2026probono), with a deadline
of **2 August 2026**. The scheme is open to UK non-profits and charities working
to support racial, sexual, gender, ability and social equity.

## A single partner for 2026

The agency has changed the shape of its long-running scheme. [Since 2020](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/09/10/full-fat-to-offer-free-communications-campaigns-for-selected-uk-charities/)
it has committed an annual pro bono budget to organisations that echo its diversity
and inclusion policies, working with eight organisations over six years.

Previously it ran two rounds a year offering up to £4,000 of support per month for
up to three months. **From 2026 it will focus on one dedicated partner each year**,
increasing its investment to **£15,000** of time on a more flexible timeline to 
allow deeper, more strategic support.

## What is on offer

Now in its tenth round, the scheme offers services including strategy and communications,
press office, social media, industry guidance and influencer work. For smaller charities
without in-house communications capacity, it represents a practical route to professional
support at no cost, and adds to a wider pattern of agency pro bono giving across
the sector.

## Past charity partners

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**,**
Queer Britain**, **Fresh Start Future Enterprises,** **NAZ Project** and most recently
with **AWRC** through the Autumn 2025 pro-bono scheme.
