The half day sessions have a limited capacity of 8 people and are specifically for people who are working on an application to that particular funder. So it’s important you come to the sessions with a good idea of what you want to apply for and are actively working on an application.
These sessions will help you apply to funders who provide grants for creative, community and arts projects – some of them are open to individuals and some only to companies and organisations; so please make sure you read all the information to check you are eligible before signing up.
All sessions are delivered by someone who has lots of experience with this funder and are all about helping you with the process, answering your specific questions and giving you time to work on your application with guidance and peer support.
