This workshop will look at general principles in strong bidwriting, examining examples of good practice and take participants through the process of making an application for Awards for All funding.


Enhancing your Application: Reaching Communities
Thursday 13 May, 10am-12.30pm
@ Bromley Hall

This workshop will look at the process of making an application for Reaching Communities funding, focusing on the outline proposal stage which has now been streamlined for applications of less than £40,000. It will focus the key features of this funding programme and give participants a greater understanding of exactly what the Big Lottery Fund are looking for in applications.


Planning your Project
Tuesday 18 May, 10am-12.30pm
@ Bromley Hall

This workshop will demonstrate a product-based approach to planning, show how to derive activity networks and how to formulate a project plan and associated budget.


Improving your Project
Thursday 20 May, 10am-12.30pm
@ Bromley Hall

This workshop will help participants measure the impact of their work within evaluations and link their funded projects to their values and help avoid mission drift.  Evaluation can help organisations acquire new funding and make the argument for the importance of their work.


Evaluating your Project
Thursday 27 May, 10am-12.30pm
@ Bromley Hall

Following the workshop Improving your Project, this workshop looks at the next stage of putting an evaluation framework in place and the practical steps needed to evaluate your project. Evaluations can be used to improve your work, make the case for further funding and be valuable as a marketing tool to both funders and supporters.
