FREE FUNDING ADVICE AVAILABLE!

Funding is the major issue for local voluntary and community sector groups and organizations. People want to know not only where to go to obtain funding but also what they can use the funding for and how they can apply for it.

DVC has produced a Funding Advice Pack to help groups and organizations with all the basic questions about obtaining funding. For your FREE copy please contact the Volunteer Centre 01327 300614.

If you would like more in depth help with your funding issues, such as help with writing applications or completing an application form or maybe some training on using the Directories of Charitable Trusts you can make an appointment to see the Outreach Support Worker, Mal Thompson, who will be happy to come to your group or organization. You can contact Mal at the Volunteer Centre.

HELP AVAILABLE TO FIND FUNDING FOR YOUR GROUP!

A funding event is being held at Daventry Community Centre, Ashby Road, Daventry on Wednesday 10th September from 10am – 1pm.

Daventry Volunteer Centre is organising this event to bring you a wealth of information and advice about sources of funding for community groups and organisations.

A selection of local funders as well as a representative from the Big Lottery team will be on hand to help you find out which funder can best help your group and give advice about how to complete your application with the most chance of success.

Two workshops will be held during the morning – run by Northamptonshire Community Foundation and the Lottery - who will each talk about their own funding programmes and give guidance on how to make a good application.

Other funding bodies on hand to give information and advice will include Daventry District Council; Northamptonshire ACRE; Northants County Council; Daventry District Housing;

The Funding Event will start at 10am and the workshops will run for half an hour each during the morning at different times to enable you to attend both. Lunch will be from 12 until 1pm. This schedule will give you plenty of opportunity to gather information, talk directly to the funders on the day and network with others in the voluntary sector.

This event costs just £5 for funded groups. (otherwise negotiable)
