Building on the success of last year’s online funding fair when we had over 2000 bookings across the 3 days. We are doing it all again with some new exciting funders for 2024
Yorkshire & Humber day is Monday 18th March
How this will work is each funder has been allocated a 30 minute session using Zoom to explain what funding they have and also how the application process works. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. You will need to book separately for each session you wish to attend.
This is a FREE event but if you fancy helping us with the costs you can donate the cost of a coffee. Use the link below or you can donate when you book your tickets
