PAVS Funding Fair – Event report

The ever popular PAVS Funding Fair 2009 took place at the Queen's Hall in Narberth on Tuesday 17 November with a record attendance of over 130 people.  Representatives from voluntary and community groups in Pembrokeshire attended a selection of presentations and browsed the funding exhibition throughout the day.

The feedback was really positive with delegates welcoming the chance to speak face-to-face with funders about the work of their organisations.  One suggestion was to have some case studies of groups who have made successful funding applications so we hope to incorporate that next year.

It was a really busy day for funders who had numerous conversations with delegates about the funding available through their schemes.  During the event groups also had the opportunity to attend informative presentations from the SITA Trust, Business in the Community and Big Lottery Fund.

A big thank you to all of the funders who attended and to the presenters from SITA Trust, Big Lottery Fund and Business in the Community.  It was a pleasure to welcome the SITA Trust to Pembrokeshire for the first time, travelling to the event from their HQ in Gloucester to promote the Enhancing Communities Fund which supports groups working within a 10 mile radius of the Withyhedge Landfill site (near Haverfordwest).  Thanks also to the Queen's Hall for use of the facilities and the help given by staff to get the venue ready on the morning.

Following on from the success of this event the Development Team at PAVS look forward to organising a similar event in 2010. Thank you for supporting the event and we hope to see you again next year!  Details will be published in the PAVS Quarterly newsletter in 2010.  If you would like to be notified about the 2010 event, as details become available, then please e-mail development@pavs.org.uk
