Some will even provide you with useful tips on how to make applications.

 

For many of you obtaining funding has been a long and hard journey, and many of you have still to find the right funder to support you and your cause.

Funding is difficult for nearly everyone and this event will give you the opportunity to explore what you might need to do next on your journey or simply give you ideas for future applications.

It will also be a great opportunity to meet others also thinking about funding, quite simply a great networking event.

 

We at Sobus have 500+groups registered with us, and many of them are small and many new to the funding scene.

For those that have yet to obtain funding and those that have found it difficult when applying for funding this is really the event for you so make sure you come along.

 

Those who are in larger organisations and have years of experience in obtaining funding may have staff and volunteers who could benefit from this event. It really might be just the thing needed to provide that extra bit of development for them.
