Sandwell Council of Voluntary Organisations - SCVO. Supporting the Growth of Community Action in Sandwell.

An event for community development practitioners, grant providers and voluntary and community sector organisations interested in improving the quality and effectiveness of grant funding in Sandwell.

CDS26: ‘Funding Communities – Adding Value’
Tuesday 24th November, 09:30 to 13:30 (including lunch)
National Metalforming Centre, West Bromwich

The event draws its inspiration from a book entitled ‘Funding Communities Adding Value: Community Development Approaches to Grant Giving’, recently published by the Community Development Foundation.  The book can be downloaded free from the following link: http://www.cdf.org.uk/web/guest/publication?id=79346

The aim of the event is to improve the quality and effectiveness of grant funding in Sandwell by bringing together grant providers and the communities that apply for grant funds, to share best practice in creating grant programmes that facilitate and support community development.  The keynote speaker for the event is Irene Evison, the author of the book (with regret, Phil Aubrey, Grassroots Grants Programme Manager at the Community Development Foundation, is now unable to attend).

A market place of stalls and displays will be available at the event.
