Funding Opportunities
The Castle Point Funding Service has been set up to help community groups, clubs, charities and other organisations within Castle Point to find and keep funding for their projects. We hope to help your group learn how to go about finding funding themselves, and understand what grant makers and funders look for. Types of things we can help with include:
· Advice on where to look for funding
· Matching up appropriate funders with your project
· Supporting you with your funding applications and reviewing them before you send them
· Advice on how to improve your organisation’s documents to make them appealing to a funder
· One to one training on budgets, accounts, and project planning to help you produce these for long term success
· Advice and support with commissioning and procurement tenders
· Tailor made training for your committee about funding
· Support and guidance building a fund raising strategy to use in the long term
If you want to find out more about how we can help your organisation, please call Dawn or Pippa on 01268 638416, or email Dawn Wale resolve small problems, and give short snippets of advice. If you’re interested in coming along, no appointment is needed – turn up to The Tyrells Centre, 39 Seamore Avenue, Thundersley, Essex, SS7 4EX between 9:30 and 12:30 on a Friday morning.
