These sessions are for volunteers who’ve been involved in group grants in the past, so have knowledge of our grants schemes - but would like a refresher about processes and an update on changes.

The session is flexible so it can focus on areas of interest agreed by everyone attending. These may include:

principles of good grant making that shape what we do

an overview of what your group should have in place to offer grants

an overview of the grants that your group can offer

how to assess grant applications and tools to support this

It’s also an opportunity to ask questions, give feedback and network with volunteers from other groups.

We’re limiting these sessions to 15 people, so please do join a waitlist if you can’t register – we'll add another session if there’s enough demand.

*****************************************************************************

This meeting will take place via Zoom, a video conferencing application (similar to FaceTime or Skype) which allows you to participate via your PC at home, your tablet or your mobile phone. You may need to download the Zoom app to your device before you join a session.

When you join an online session, you can see and interact with the other participants on your screen. You can choose to use your device’s camera or to just be a voice in the discussion. You can also simply join the meeting by phone, including from a landline.

Once you have registered for an event, the information for joining the meeting will be emailed to you.
