Funding Forum and Funding News
The Voluntary Sector Liaison Team works in partnership with South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau and other voluntary sector colleagues to organise Funding Forum and Funding News.
Funding News
This is a free monthly newsletter promoting funding information for voluntary and community groups. Funding News is written and published by South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau and can be downloaded from their website. Alternatively if you would like a paper copy email vslt@sheffield.gov.uk.
Funding Forum
This is a monthly meeting where speakers provide information about funding opportunities and good practice for voluntary and community groups. Meetings are open to everyone, attendance is free and there is no need to book – just turn up!
Meetings are usually held on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except April, August & December) from 11am to 1.30pm at the Quaker Meeting House, St James Street, Sheffield (at the side of the Cathedral). Between 10.30am and 11am there is a chance to get a cup of tea and network with other voluntary and community groups. The Quaker Meeting House is wheelchair accessible and there is limited parking in the street outside. The room has a loop system.
