Could your community, group or charitable organisation do with some extra funding post Christmas. . .?

If the your answer to the above is "yes please!" then why not consider applying to the Big Lottery's Awards for All funding programme. Awards for All is a small grants funding programme which awards between £300 and £10,000 to voluntary and community organisations.

To improve your chances of successfully obtaining some funding for your project CCB and the Big Lottery are running FREE webinars on the Awards for All programme. 
These sessions are run online which means that you are able to access them from the comfort of your own home or office. Webinars are supported by the Adult Community Learning team at West Berkshire Council.

By taking part in the webinar you will:

• Have a better understanding of the Awards for All fund and the current funding environment.
• Have an increased understanding of the Awads for All programme and how to strengthen your application.
• Have increased confidence to apply to Awards for All.

Feedback from participants that have already attended one of these webinars includes:

"As a very new volunteer to fundraising, I found everything very useful." 

"Being interactive and visual was very worthwhile and thank you for the in depth information on what works within an application, very useful in deed!"

"Saving the expense of travel and time I found it very easy to access, and very clear delivery by the Big Lottery. Very well organised hosting by Gemma at CCB. Was useful to have the reminder with 'how-to' documents and instructions."

"The detailed explanation of the meaning and relevance of the Outcomes section and the importance to our application was excellent. The immediate reply to my questions was very helpful also. In fact every part of the webinar was so useful and very well explained. I felt that Pat Cook from the Big Lottery understands the pressures on small charities regarding applying for funding from large national organisations."
