Secure Funding Workshop To Be Held In Beverley

East Riding Voluntary Action Services (ERVAS) is inviting community and voluntary groups to attend a free half-day workshop on how to secure funding in 2013.

Whether a group is concerned about securing funding or in need of financial support to get a project off the ground, the event, taking place at a venue in Beverley on Friday, 25 January, from 9am-2pm, and including lunch, will cover what groups need to know to be ‘fit for funding’ and what makes a successful funding application.

Representatives from both local and national funders will be there to provide information about current funding opportunities and East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s External Funding Team will also be on hand to give general funding advice and demonstrate GRANTnet, the free online grants search tool for voluntary and community groups operating in the East Riding area.

Councillor Jane Evison, cabinet portfolio holder for economic development, and rural issues at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “In the current economic climate, it can be difficult for community and voluntary groups to secure funding and it’s often the case they don’t know where to start.

“We know only too well that community and volunteer groups play a vital role in supporting residents in the East Riding and the council wants to take this opportunity to provide advice, guidance and practical assistance.”
