Funding Fayre


We held our fourth Blyth Valley CVS Funding Fayre in June 2006, and again it proved to be a very successful event. We had 9 local Funders present with approximately 75 community representatives attending one-to-one surgeries. The event was held at the Buffalo Community Centre, Regent Street, Blyth and was very well received and we were made very welcome.

Both Funders and community groups provided extremely complimentary comments about the organisation of the day and about the quality of the projects going on in Blyth Valley. The Funding Fayre provides the opportunity to meet with the Funders on a one-to-one basis, explain the project you are seeking funding for and whether the project falls within their criteria. This discussion promotes good quality funding applications, necessary in securing charitable funding.

We are hoping to arrange another Funding Fayre in 2007, but if you require any funding advice or support in the mean time please contact Pauline Blake - Development Officer or Gina Robson - Fairshares Development Officer at our office on 01670 353623 or via email enquiries@blythvalleycvs.org.uk.
