The day will feature keynote speakers, funders fair, workshops, lively debate, and plenty of opportunities for networking. This event will explore the unique and vital role of grant giving in enabling innovation, enterprise and independent community action, and help enable delegates to make the most of opportunities available.

With trends towards increased commissioning, and pressure on community organisations to generate their own income through service delivery and enterprise, we aim to engage with funders and community organisations to focus on the role of grants as part of a healthy funding mix.
