Sustainable
Funding Cymru delivers a comprehensive training,
advice and information programme, part of a joint funding advice
service in Wales.
- A dedicated website and monthly
newsletter providing comprehensive information tailored to Wales
- A modular training programme directly
delivered by WCVA and cascaded through CVCs and other umbrella
organisations. Providing participants with an understanding of
sustainable funding and how it can be implemented
Every organisation, whether
from the private, public or voluntary sector, needs to manage their
finances successfully in order to achieve long-term sustainability.
Voluntary and community organisations can normally locate
funds to kick start projects, but often find it difficult to secure
funding for ongoing work. Many organisations find themselves
'trapped' in the funding cycle and rely on grants or other funding
sources.
With funding from the
Big Lottery Fund Sustainable Funding Cymru works
to support voluntary and community organisations in Wales to consider
how they can achieve long-term financial sustainability.
Working in partnership
with CVC's (such as PAVS) across Wales the initiative will equip
organisations with the skills and information to secure and maintain
the resources they require in the long-term through diversifying
their 'funding mix'.

PAVS
Sustainable Funding Project
The PAVS Sustainable Funding Project came to an
end in October 2006. This project was funded by the Big Lottery
Fund.
As a result of this project
PAVS developed some lasting resources for the sector which will
continue to be available to groups.
One of the highlights
of this project was the Funding Beyond Grants workshops which covered
a variety of topics to encourage groups to look at the potential
for funding besides grants.
The development of the
How to...Develop a Fundraising Strategy guide was a detailed piece
of work pulling together a series of exercises for committees, staff
and volunteers to work through in order to gather some of the useful
information for a fundraising strategy.
To accompany this process
PAVS developed a facilitated workshop which supported a committee
to work through this guide enabling the whole group to take part
in the discussions. This workshop received very positive feedback
from the 2006 Inspection of Adult and Community Education in Pembrokeshire.
