Funding News
Our Funding Padlet board is a regularly updated online noticeboard where you can find the latest funding opportunities for VCSE organisations. It brings together grants, funds, events and other useful funding resources in one easy-to-access place.
Funding the Future
In January 2026 we hosted our second day-long event exploring funding diversification. The day featured a key note speech, panel discussion and workshops with expert guest speakers and local VCSEs sharing their knowledge and experience and included opportunities for networking. We are bringing the event back for 2027.
As a result of attending the Funding the Future events in both 2025 and 2026 organisations have gone on to run successful crowdfunding campaigns, make new connections with local funders, collaborated with others to apply for funding in partnership and share resources and pursued a trading model.
“It’s clear that many groups are really feeling the financial pressure at the moment, so events like yours – and the connections they spark – are more important than ever.” – Event Feedback
