Information sheets
As part of our support we have collated the latest information and intelligence from the VCSE sector both at a local level and national level to inform our information sheets. These provide a comprehensive overview of the topic you are seeking more information and support on. You can view our collection of information sheets for groups and organisations here.
Funding
We are able to provide groups and organisations with funding support. We can do this by running a comprehensive funding search that is tailored to your organisation. If you are looking for funding and would like us to run a search for you, click here to fill out a form. If you require assistance with the form, please get in touch with one of our team and they will do their best to support you.
We also have a comprehensive list of funding streams and donors located in our Funding Directory. This is a list of both local and national funding streams, organised by theme. This directory is updated on a regular basis so please always check in to view if more streams have been added to the relevant section. In addition to this we add newly added funding streams to our newsletter and to our dedicated funding page.
