Spring 2025 pro bono scheme - Applications now open

The next round of Full Fat’s pro bono scheme welcomes applicants for our support on bespoke projects and campaigns TAKING PLACE from MARCH/APRIL 2025. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN VIA THIS LINK.

Since 2020, Full Fat has pledged to commit an annual pro-bono budget to charitable organisations that echo the agency's Diversity & Inclusion policies. Full Fat has worked with eight organisations over the last four years and is now in its ninth round offering various services including strategy and communications, press office, social media, industry guidance, influencers and more. 

Full Fat is proud to have achieved a growing collection of awards for its commitment to DEI. From a consecutive win of the "Diversity & Inclusion Champion" PR Week award (2022 and 2023) to being shortlisted for the same award last year (2024), to featuring in PR Week’s Top 10 Ethnicity and Gender Pay Gap report in 2023, to receiving a gold award for PR Moments Best approach to diversity and inclusion in 2023.

The agency will be investing up to £2,500 of time per month throughout the scheme which lasts up to four months. The pro-bono scheme is open to both UK non-profits and charities with a key focus on racial, sexual, gender, ability and social equality. 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.
