• Compiling and writing a project grant application.
• Raising funds from trusts and foundations.
• Raising funds from individuals for the first time.

All courses are open to voluntary and community sector organisations, parish councils and social enterprises in Aylesbury Vale.  Further details, including a booking form, can be downloaded at the bottom of the page.

 Funding Advice Day

Every year Aylesbury Vale District Council in partnership with the Buckinghamshire Funding Group organises a Funding Advice Day. This is usually held in the Spring and in 2008 took place in March. Organisations can book one-to-one appointments with local and national funders to receive advice and guidance on their project ideas and fundraising needs. A copy of the feedback report is available to download at the bottom of the page.
