We’ve been out and about quite a lot over the summer having delivered funding advice in venues from Stonehaven to Oban and plenty of other locations too. Now that Autumn is upon us, we’ve taken a look at the funding events and drop-in sessions we have lined up during October and November.
We’ll be providing a drop-in surgery for black and minority ethnic groups at our own office in late October and are also running an unconference for our grant holders based in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
The events are listed below, along with details of how to get involved:
