Training to support your funding applications:

Evidencing need and Outcomes for your Funding Application
Wednesday 7 December, 10.30am-12.30pm
Using the Big Lottery’s approach to funding applications, the aim of this session is to give you the ‘tools’ to be successful with any funding application. It will help you plan funding applications for your project or service by evidencing the need for it and identifying the outcomes from the activities your project plans to undertake.

How to fill in your Funding Application
Thursday 8 December, 1pm – 3pm
Based on the BIG Lottery’s Awards for All application form. Learn more about evidencing the need and the ingredients of making a good application. This session complements Evidencing the Need and Outcome for your Funding Application – it is suggested that you attend both sessions

Places are limited so to book your place please contact Vanessa Kitt on 01962 871702 or email: vkitt@waca.org.uk.
