We are pleased to welcome Beth Maguire, Funding Officer at The National Lottery Community Fund and colleagues, for an informative session exploring the recent refresh of the Reaching Communities programme and the introduction of new community-led mission priorities.
If you’re considering applying for funding, or simply want to understand what’s changing from 1 April 2025, this is a great opportunity to get up to speed.
Following the presentation, a limited number of bookable one-to-one slots will be available with Beth and her colleagues to discuss your questions or project ideas in more detail.
Whether you prefer to join us online or in person, these events are your chance to gain clarity on funding change.
