This Funding Fair is funded by Tamworth Borough Council, via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. It is essential that you reserve a place before attending.

To access this session you must be a member of Support Staffordshire or a Voluntary sector organisation delivering support/services specifically in the Tamworth locality. We reserve the right to charge you for your ticket if you are not a member, and your organisation does not directly support the Tamworth locality.

FREE places are restricted to TWO per organisation for this Funding Fair, so please check with your organisation before booking. Additional names can be added to a waiting list.

Who should attend:

This Funding Fair is aimed at community groups and voluntary organisations delivering support/services in the Tamworth locality.

What to expect:

People can drop in between the hours of 3pm and 7pm. In the first hour, funders will do short presentations to give an overview of their funding priorities, to give you a reason to want to go and chat to them. It will then be a Market Place event where you can look around the tables and approach funders directly for a chat.
