East Northants Council to host funding day

Open to all, this event will give community groups the chance to speak directly to funders and find out what money is available to help with projects.

Visitors have been impressed with the last eight Community Funding Days, passing on comments such as “fantastic event which aids local communities” and “very valuable – can’t emphasise this enough”.

This year’s Funding Day will be bigger and better than ever, with a record number of funders on hand to talk you through funding opportunities in East Northamptonshire, including representatives from the Heritage Lottery, Children in Need and Lloyds Bank.

Funders attending the event this year include BBC Children in Need, Charity Bank, the Diocese of Peterborough, East Northamptonshire Council, Grantscape (Mick George and Augean), the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Key Fund, LEADER Programme, The Lloyds Bank Foundation, Nene Valley Community Action, Northamptonshire ACRE, Northamptonshire Community Foundation, Northamptonshire Sport, ProHelp (Business in the Community), Rushden Town Council, Spire Homes, Voluntary Impact Northampton and Waitrose.

Come along for free and find out how they could help you.

External funding manager at East Northamptonshire Council Su Davies said: “The fair provides an excellent opportunity for groups to meet funders face to face and get a straightforward answer to their funding questions.

“Two hours at the fair can save so much time, which would otherwise be spent searching through websites or trying to get funders on the phone. I look forward to seeing you there.”

The Funding Day will take place in the Council Chamber on Cedar Drive (NN14 4LZ) across two sessions, 10.30am to 12.30pm and 1pm to 3pm.
