Advice and guidance on the range of funding available

We give advice and guidance on how to apply for funding from a variety of different sources including:
  • Europe (European Regional Development Fund [ERDF], European Social Fund [ESF], and other European funding)
  • Yorkshire Forward
  • Big Lottery and Heritage Lottery.
We also bid for funding ourselves which is then available for local organisations to apply for usually through a commissioned process.

Tailored support to help locate and access funding

We offer tailored support to potential funding applicants from public sector, voluntary and community organisations to help develop project ideas and bids.

Support with developing project ideas and funding applications

We ensure that you are aware of current policies which link to, and have an impact on your idea.

Facilitation of partnership meetings and promoting networking opportunities

All funding requires you to work with partners, organisations and within networks. We have a great deal of experience of this type of work and can offer advice on how to find the best match for a project either in Kirklees, the UK or Europe.. When necessary, we facilitate partnership meetings to encourage sharing of ideas and best practice and to encourage further development of local partnerships.

Tailored seminars and workshops

We deliver a variety of seminars and workshops throughout the year to help develop knowledge and capacity, including claims and audit workshops and funding sessions. For those who need more detailed support and information we arrange one to one sessions. We will also keep you informed of any sessions specific to your needs.
