One of our major roles is to provide advice and support to voluntary and community groups who are looking for funding. This could be anything from new equipment to funding entirely new projects.We can also help you if you need to form a group, prepare a constitution and form a business plan or a fund raising strategy.
Sources of funding fall mainly into the following catagories :-
Statutory Funders
National Lottery Funding
Grant Making Trusts
European Funding
The Business Community
There’s also a lot of talk about social enterprise . For more information visit www.action.hants.org.uk/SocialEnt.html
