Children in Need - funding in Powys!!!

Friday was a useful time for PAVO to talk to the funder's about quality, volume of applications, and so on. Upon talking to the Children in Need officer attending, I was surprised to hear that groups didn't think that they funded projects in Powys! Upon delving further there were 4 projects supported in the whole of Powys in 2010.

Children in Need run two grant schemes. Grants are open to organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people who are 18 years old and under.

Your organisation and project must be based in the UK and you need to be a registered charity or other not-for-profit organisation.

There are two general grant deadlines remaining for this year: 15 July, 15 October.

Within the general grants programme, you can apply for:

Small Grants of £10,000 or less per year for up to three years

Main Grants over £10,000 per year for up to three years

So, if you are considering applying, Andrea from Children in Need will be coming back to Powys on June 8th for individuals sessions with groups interested. A PAVO Development Officer will also be in attendance. If you are interested please post a comment on the blog or phone 01597 822191. This is a great opportunity to speak with her face to face, and it would be great to get some more projects in Powys funded!
