Aylesbury Vale District Council is supporting a free funding fair for community and voluntary groups looking for cash for projects which will help local people.

Organisations in Buckinghamshire are invited to attend the event at the Clare Foundation in Saunderton anytime between 1pm and 6pm on Thursday 16 February.

Representatives from a wide range of funding bodies will speak at the fair with a view to making local community representatives aware of the various funding opportunities that are currently available or soon will be. Group representatives will have an opportunity to speak to funders on a one-to-one basis about their potential projects.

Among those to be represented at the fair will be the Big Lottery Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund, Buckinghamshire Community Foundation, Charity Bank and WREN.

So if you’re part of a local community group needing money for a project which will help people in your area – setting up a new club; extending existing services; improving a local feature such as a village pond, play area or village hall – then come along and see what’s out there.

Aylesbury Vale District Council has arranged this funding fair as part of its ongoing support to local community groups. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided.
