Intro to Bid-Writing (in person)

Are you interested in gaining bid-writing skills or refreshing your knowledge? Whether you’re looking to raise money for community activities, buy equipment, or bring a local project to life, knowing where to look for funding and how to apply can make all the difference. This interactive three-hour workshop will help you build your confidence in applying for funding, whether you’re completely new to it or looking to refresh your skills. You’ll learn about: • Common funding terms and what they mean. • How to find out if your project is eligible and meets a funder’s criteria. • How to approach the key questions asked in funding applications. • Practical tips to help you write stronger applications and improve your chances of success. This workshop will be a mixture of presentation, interactive activities, and group discussion. It is aimed at those working, volunteering, or starting out in the VCFSE (voluntary, community and faith-based groups, and social enterprise organisations) sector in Stockport. Refreshments such as tea and coffee will be provided. Ticket Charges We will be charging a refundable fee of £5 (+eventbrite fees) per ticket. This will be refunded to you once you sign in at the event. Please note, the total amount you will be refunded is £5 per ticket (we are unable to refund eventbrite fees). ** Please note, tickets are available strictly to volunteers and employees working for Voluntary, Community, Faith based groups, Social Enterprises and charitable organisations in Stockport. If you are not part of a VCFSE / charitable organisation then your ticket will be refunded.
