 In our previous newsletter about how we’re supporting the voluntary and charity sector in Waltham Forest we mentioned several ways that we can help.
One of these areas of support is helping with bid writing and accessing funding and grant opportunities. We can:
- Advise on suitable opportunities for your organisation and explain any eligibility or restrictions involved
- Support you in writing and editing your applications from the beginning
- Feedback on draft applications before they are submitted
If you want help with a funding opportunity or if none of the below funding opportunities listed here are relevant to your organisation, please don’t hesitate to email us with a summary of your organisation and what your needs are at this time.
Wave two of this fund is now open, offering grants of up to £10,000 to enable VCS organisations to meet the immediate needs of communities, from food and essentials, to equipment and additional short-term staff costs. A separate, ‘Delivering Differently’ fund consists of grants of up to £50,000 to enable VCS organisations to adapt delivery models and continue to support vulnerable groups at a time of increased demand.
