Fundraising Support

Fundraising has always been a challenge for many groups, but in the last few years things have got worse. There have been reductions in public sector spending, and trusts are reducing the grants they make. RedbridgeCVS can help.

We help small voluntary and community groups in Redbridge to raise funds and make successful grant applications. We have helped local groups raise over £1 million.

We can help your group with:

  • Free one to one advice and support:
    • Find out if you need to strengthen basic aspects of your group’s governance
    • Identify suitable funders and funding opportunities for your group
    • Receive advice and guidance on your draft grant applications
  • Free ‘Meet the Funder’ sessions
  • Free fundraising training during Small Charities Week
  • Fundraising/bid-writing workshops

You need to be a member of RedbridgeCVS to access this service, but any local group can join for free here.
