Funding forum
The Funding Forum is a regular open meeting where voluntary and community organisations in Sheffield can learn about sources of funding and funding related issues. It also provides an opportunity for those attending to network and share information.
There are about six meetings each year, normally on the second Tuesday of each month. People are encouraged to arrive about 10.30am to give time for networking, with the formal meeting starting at 11am and finishing at 1pm.
Most meetings take place at the Quaker Meeting House, St James Street (just behind Church Street). The venue is accessible but there is no parking apart from 2/3 spaces for disabled people.
Attendance at past meetings has ranged from 20 to 100 people, representing a broad cross section of interests and experiences. The subject for each meeting is circulated to a mailing list of over 1000 organisations. Anyone with an interest in funding is welcome to meetings.
The Funding Forum is organised by a planning group made up of representatives from the Voluntary Sector Liaison Team at Sheffield City Council and individuals from local voluntary organisations, including Voluntary Action Sheffield.
