FUNDING ADVICE
Groups and organisations are offered advice and assistance in finding funding opportunities through the software package "Funderfinder" and by receiving funding alerts. We will also feature any specific new funds or tool kits on this page.
There will be workshops offered on various issues around funding during the year. These will be advertised on this website and also in Community Voice, our newsletter.
The Senior Officer Community Development Joanna Burrows is available to help you complete bids for funding.
