Fund It!

What is this event about?

Join us for a day of fundraising advice with a variety of speakers and workshop leaders looking at all aspects of fundraising and income generation.

Our keynote speaker will be Rowan Miller, Head of Regional Funding South-West, National Lottery Community Fund sharing what they’ve learned during the pandemic and her vision of the grant-funding future.

Since March 2020 the funding landscape has changed rapidly, and organisations have had to adapt quickly to stay open and keep delivering never-more-needed services. Now there’s some time to reflect and learn, Fund It! 2021 will support your organisation to catch up with what’s on the horizon and explore new income options. The day will offer a range of speakers, workshops and activities plus the chance to network with other organisations and share ideas and experience.

The event will run 10am - 1pm, and there will be breaks during the event.
