Manchester Community Central, The Manchester Transforming Local Infrastructure Partnership and Third Sector Essentials are organising the Manchester Funding Fair 2013 which will provide opportunities for third sector organisations, social enterprises and Community Interest Companies to meet with local, regional and national funders.
The aims of the Fair are to:
• Provide local third sector organisations with information about current and future funding opportunities
• Provide access to funding bodies
• Provide information about new forms of social investment that are available to the sector
• Provide a showcase for the achievements of the Transforming Local Infrastructure Programme
• Highlight and explore current key issues affecting the sector in Manchester
The Fair will be delivered through a combination of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and networking.
We expect more than a dozen funding bodies to attend in person and be available to speak to delegates on a 1to1 basis throughout the day.
The Exhibition will include funding bodies, local TLI partners, capacity building organisations and many others. More details of the workshops will be announced shortly. Keep checking the website over the next few weeks for updates on the Fair and news of workshops, funders and exhibitors.
The Funding Fair will be your opportunity to meet with funders and to hear about exciting developments in the sector in Manchester.
