Grants - Fit for
Funding*
16 September
Tutor: Lorna Unwin
9.30am-1.30pm
Venue: PAVS, Haverfordwest
Many voluntary and community
groups are reliant on grant funding - in the current climate it
is good to look at a range of funding options and to become "more
sustainable", however it is widely acknowledged that grants
will always have their place in one shape or form within the voluntary
sector.
This half day course will
support participants to look at what makes a good funding application,
understand the background work which goes into a bid and improve
on applications. These are often transferable skills which
can help with looking at how you sell the work of your organisation.
The course is suitable for
committee members, volunteers and staff, with a responsibility for
fundraising, who are new to writing funding applications or in need
of a refresher.

Giving and Public
Fundraising*
23 October
Tutor: Lorna Unwin
9.30am-1.30pm
Venue: PAVS, Haverfordwest
At a time when the grant
world is increasingly competitive and groups are being urged to
be more sustainable, building local relationships is vital – the
fact that nearly 30% of the income for the voluntary sector in Wales
comes from individual and corporate giving shows that it is a key
area for all organisations to consider.
This half day course will
develop further understanding of giving and public fundraising in
the voluntary sector and offer an insight into how a "fundraising
mix" can help groups move towards financial sustainability.
The course is suitable for committee members, volunteers and
staff with a responsibility for fundraising – for those with little
or some experience of fundraising or who are in need of a refresher.
