Join us for an Action Learning Group organised by the Community Building Team at BSWN to discuss and explore practical solutions for you to write good funding applications.
About the organisers
BSWN is a racial justice organisation with over 15+ years of experience working in the South West to enable Black and Minoritised communities, businesses, and the community sector to take action against racial systemic inequality.
About this event
This Action Learning Group has been organised to support you and your organisation or community group to become more sustainable and work more efficiently. We will explore practical steps that you need to think about before applying for funding and together, we will demystify the application process.
