We held another successful Meet the Funder Event yesterday, with over 20 charities and groups attending and four funders presenting. The event included plenty of times for questions and networking in order to get some face time with funders as well as the opportunity to make connections with other voluntary and community sector groups.

Some feedback from attendees:

The event was concise and to the point – much appreciated!

Good mix of speakers

The information was clear and concise

Information on free training from RVA was really helpful – an excellent event

A very clear and structured format and the speakers clearly defined who the funding was for and not for. I’ll be getting trustees to attend further training!

Excellent and informative event with a good opportunity to meet others in the local voluntary sector.
