Funding Update
WSCVYS's website includes an Interactive Funding, Activity and Support section. This is divided into sub sections where you
can access:
·
Searching for funding on the internet
·
Monthly funding updates
·
Fundraising tips and advice
·
Open Forum
This month's update features grant making
organisations focusing on workforce development.
Our fundraising tips and advice section is an opportunity to share or
question any funding related topics. Please contact me if you have any tips you
would like to share or if you have a particular topic you would like me to
cover.
Help get our open forum going! I have set three topics for discussion inspired by our Lodge Hill
conference and the Action Learning Sets. You'll need to register via the open forum section of
the website before joining (or starting) a discussion.
Your input as a member of the Affiliation Scheme is vital and I hope you use the
information and networking opportunities via the website to your organisation's
advantage.
