Do you ever find yourself wishing you had a few more people to carry out the great ideas, or a pot of money to do them with?
A couple of ways coming up that we can building our skills and resources…
Small Funds for Small Groups – a locally-focused workshop here in Herefordshire
10am to 1pm Monday 2nd July
The Kindle Centre, Hereford
We’ll:
- Look at an example completed small grant application
- Hear from Herefordshire Community Foundation about grants available right now
- Identify grants that could help us make great activities for our h.Energy weekend
- Work on the first step of our own applications – how we describe what we do, and the impact of it, so that a funder will listen!
Tea, coffee and pastries at the start!
You should leave with at least part of a funding bid written – well worth a morning’s reflection.
Places are free but limited – please book here and we’ll confirm your place by 22nd June.
If you’re raring to go now, here is a fund with a deadline in two weeks – if you’d like support completing it please email events@hgnetwork.org
Recruiting and Retaining Volunteers
July will see some free, live, online sessions with our events and publicity coordinator Rebecca who is also an experienced volunteer management trainer. All welcome!
Three lunchtimes: 17th, 18th and 19th July covering: recruiting volunteers, keeping them on board and making sure it’s all legal too.

If you’re not sure what an interactive online workshop might look like, Rebecca will be able to explain after the funding workshop face-to-face! The beginning of the online sessions will also include an orientation.
