Starting a Group Made Simple: Get Ready for Funding
Want to make a difference in your community? The In Our Nature programme has partnered with Manchester Community Central to support people in Manchester who are looking at setting up a community group, or to build their grassroots initiative.
This workshop introduces the fundamentals of setting up a small community group and preparing to apply for funding. You’ll explore how to define your group’s purpose and activities, create a basic constitution, and lay the groundwork for funding applications.
Bid Writing is an essential skill when it comes to securing funding for your organisation. This interactive webinar is ideal for staff or volunteers who are responsible for writing funding applications.
What can I expect?
This 3 hour training workshop will be a combination of presentation, group discussion and practical work. It is useful to come to the session with a project in mind (but is not essential).
As a local Manchester charity, you’ll likely be constantly thinking about how to keep enough money coming in to sustain your services and support to the community. One way of doing this that charities are increasingly being encouraged to consider is by starting to trade / charge for some of what they do.
This session is about helping Manchester charities better understand what’s meant by ‘trading’; how and when it might be a viable option for charities; and key considerations for what should be considered if a charity decides to start to ‘do some of it’.
