Funding information is being made available to community groups, charities and voluntary organisations across Buckinghamshire.
The Big Lottery Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund and Lloyds TSB Foundation are among the scores of organisations attending a county funding fair in Aylesbury next month.
The free event, organised by Aylesbury Vale District Council, is being held at the Gateway Conference Centre, Gatehouse Road, on 12 February between 1pm and 6pm.
There will also be an opportunity to participate in active workshop sessions about funding, talk directly to grant makers and organisations offering advice, and understand more about how to apply for funding.
Information stalls will be available on a drop in basis all afternoon. Groups are advised that places are limited for the workshops, which have previously proved very popular.
Lynne Maddocks, AVDC Community Engagement Officer, said: “The funding fair provides a fantastic opportunity to obtain funding for voluntary and community projects. Last year’s fair generated a total of about £40,000 of grant funding for five organisations from contacts made on the day.
“As with previous years, the event will have a wide range of information stalls and workshops to attend and enjoy. It’s important that people can have a good time participating in the event whilst also getting the essential information they need.”
