On Tuesday 25th of June, we are having a day of events dedicated to the National Lottery Community Fund, with a focus on these two funds:
In the evening we will also be joined by Lisa Edwards from BDBC who will be talking about their Councillor Community grant
Afternoon: (Presentation plus 1-2-1 for those with a proposal to discuss)
The day starts with a presentation at 1pm which will introduce the National Lottery Community Fund and talk about what they can offer to the charitable sector with a focus on the two funds Awards For All and Reaching Communities.
She will be joined by Lisa Edwards from Basingstoke & Deane BC who will talk about their Councillor Community grant, which provides grants of between £250 and £3,000 to local not-for-profit groups. Each ward Councilor has an annual allocation of £2,000 they can use to support groups who are making a positive difference to residents in their ward. You can find out if and how your group could apply for funding through this scheme. This will be followed by a joint Q&A session.
