DOES YOUR GROUP NEED MORE FUNDING?
          Then FUNDERS FORTNIGHT 2003 is for you!

High Peak Funders Fortnight is a series of events across the borough, designed to help voluntary and community groups understand the requirements of funders, how to go about getting funding and how to write a funding bid. There will be the opportunity to discuss your group's individual requirements, and what potential funding sources are available.

You could be a parent and toddler group who need funding to meet weekly running costs, a youth project needing funding to open a new service, or an older person's group that needs funding for equipment.

The events are all FREE, at fully accessible venues across the borough. Come to as many (or as few) events as you want. If you can't attend, don't forget that High Peak CVS can offer help, support and advice about funding all year round - and we will be more than happy to come to you.
