Tuesday 23rd March is a day for Yorkshire and Humber funders
Wednesday 24th March is a day of national funders
Thursday 25th March is another day of national funders
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.

Session 6 Sport England 14:00- 14:50
We want everyone in England regardless of their age, background or level of ability to feel able to take part in sport and physical activity. But too often the people with the most to gain from being active are the least able to take part. That’s why we’re on a mission to address this injustice and transform sport and physical activity so that people and places everywhere can benefit. We do this by providing expertise, insight and funding that improves the nation’s long term physical and mental health. This session will now be delivered by Team Beds and Luton, the “active partnership” for Bedfordshire and Luton.
Session 7 The Architectural Heritage Fund 15:00 – 15:50
We help communities across the UK find enterprising new ways to revitalise the old buildings they love. We provide advice, grants and loans, and our support acts as a catalyst for putting sustainable heritage at the heart of vibrant local economies.
