Funders Meeting by Nigel Jacques at Sobus

On the 27th April, we met with some of our local funders: Hammersmith United Charities; Dr Edwards and Bishop King’s Fulham Charity; and UNITED in Hammersmith and Fulham. Kensington and Chelsea were also represented with a local funder.

We had 66 participant organisations interacting with the funders about potential applications. And what was really good was that the funders expressed what they liked to see in terms of applications, as well as talking about their priorities. The whole event lasted about 1 and a half hours and everyone, who wanted to, got to speak to the funder.
