Children In Need VCS Event
24 October 2008, 09:45AM - 24 October 2008, 16:00PM
In association with a range of funders and development agencies, BBC Children in Need are hosting an advice day for voluntary or community based groups who wish to apply for funding for non-statutory work with children and young people. The day offers a chance to speak to a variety of funders about their funding opportunities, and how to apply, as well as to hear from young people themselves about what they think makes a good project.
Delegates will also be able to attend up to three seminar sessions on areas where they will need to show knowledge and understanding in order to submit a strong funding application, and will have the chance to ask questions, discuss key issues with other delegates, and take away useful resources.
Attendance at the day is free, but will hopefully prove extremely valuable when you come to submit future funding applications. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
They would welcome attendance at the event from groups who work with children and young people and are thinking about applying for non-statutory funding, and who are based in Birmingham, the Black Country, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire or Herefordshire.
The event will be held on the 24th October, from 09:45 - 16:00 at the Birmingham Midlands Institute in Birmingham city centre (a short walk from New Street station).
