Whether you’re looking for funding, trying to make sense of your budget, or simply want to meet other people doing similar work, this session is designed to give you useful ideas, practical tools and new connections you can take away with you.

What’s happening?

• Find the funding that’s right for you – Get more from our RVA Funding Grid, designed by Ruth, and find out how to use it to spot opportunities, plan ahead and make your funding search more effective.
• All About the Budget with Kim- Budgets don’t have to be daunting! Join Kim, RVA’s Co-CEO and funding expert, with previous experience at the National Lottery, for a practical session on understanding your numbers, making your budget work for your organisation (however big or small!) and avoiding common problems.
• Funding for All launching free funding webinars for our members- their free events and training offer is developed with small charities and voluntary sector organisations in mind and respond to the fundraising issues currently affecting the sector.
• Jargon busting- Confused by funding language? Bring your questions and let’s make sense of the terminology together.
• Poster & leaflet swap- Bring along your organisation’s posters or leaflets and discover what other local groups are promoting.
• Meet, share & connect- With icebreakers, networking and plenty of time to chat, this is a chance to swap ideas, share experiences and build supportive relationships with other organisations across Rother.

Come along for practical advice, useful resources and good conversations, and leave with ideas you can put into action.

We are now just over two weeks away- please book to secure your place.
