Our Meet the Funder webinars are open to voluntary and community groups and organisations in Wiltshire and Swindon. The 90-minute session will include two short presentations, themed discussions and time to ask questions about funding applications and grants.
At this event we will be joined by a Community Engagement Manager at Wiltshire Council, who will give details about the Area Boards and their grants.
Area Boards work alongside other organisations including town and parish councils, voluntary and community groups, youth organisations, sports clubs and local charities. Helping to bring local decision making back into the heart of the community.
Area boards also provide grants to community groups via three separate funding schemes.
- Youth funding - to provide positive activities for young people in the target age range of 13-19, or up to 25 with SEND
- Health and Wellbeing funding - for services that support older or vulnerable people.
- Capital funding - that can support all types of local group to help purchase equipment, assets, refurbish existing buildings or build new ones
Wiltshire Community Foundation Grants Team will present on our currently grant programmes, priorities and application process.
Previously, we hosted our Funder+ sessions in our Devizes office, this session will be held online via Zoom.
