Grants can be a useful tool for your business, but sometimes it is difficult to know where to start.

Join our online, interactive workshop, which will take you through what your business needs to have in place to create an effective grant application.

Led by one of our experienced Business Advisors, this workshop will help you understand:

  • What policies and procedures you will need to have in place before submitting a grant application
  • What makes a good grant application
  • Where you can find out what funding is available in your field

We will break down the grant process to make it easier for you to understand when applying, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions and share best practice with our Business Advisor and peers.
