Following our previous online funding fairs, we’re building on the success of these and will have our 2025 Funding Fair on March 17th –19th. We had over 2000 bookings across the 3 days last year and hopefully will be able to help and inspire more this year. This is day one which is a Yorkshire and Humber funders day. National Funders will be on day two and three of the Funding Fair. All sessions are online and free.
Yorkshire & Humber day is Monday 17th 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.
