Intro to Bid-Writing (in person)

Are you interested in gaining bid-writing skills or refreshing your knowledge? Our three-hour interactive workshop aims to help you improve your confidence and increase your chances of successful funding bids, through:

• Knowledge of key funding terms
• Better understanding of funding eligibility and criteria
• Knowledge on how to answer key questions for every bid
• Top tips to put into practice

This workshop will be a mixture of presentation, interactive activities, and group discussion. It is aimed at those working, volunteering, or starting out in the VCFSE (voluntary, community and faith-based groups, and social enterprise organisations) sector in Stockport.

The workshop will be run by Stockport's Family Hubs VCFSE Lead, Charlotte Chilvers. Charlotte has a wealth of bid-writing experience and knowledge having delivered similar training when she worked at Manchester Community Central.

Please note the Sector 3 office at Merseyway Innovation Centre holds a maximum of 15 people.

Refreshments such as tea and coffee will be provided.
