Funding and Advice
Ensuring your organisation has enough money to carry out all its aims can be one of the biggest headaches for third sector organisations. The information in this section will keep you informed about the many different aspects of funding and commissioning.
We all know that accessing money is a pretty tough and full-time job for most third sector organisations. Preparation is key; it’s not as easy as filling in an application form. Please take a look at the available funding opportunities below – and how to get in touch with our team for further support and advice.
