A local MP is hosting a funding workshop designed to help good causes in Alyn and Deeside with applying for money raised by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Mark Tami MP has teamed up with the People’s Postcode Lottery to host a virtual funding workshop for local charities to find out how to apply for grants from the People’s Postcode Trust, Postcode Community Trust, Postcode Local Trust, Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, Postcode Society Trust and Postcode Places Trust.
Since 2011 grants totalling £180,840 have been awarded from these funds to 29 separate organisations in Alyn and Deeside, ranging from £500 to a whopping £23,000. The purpose of the workshop is to support more local good causes to apply, and to support organisations who have already successfully applied to apply for bigger grants.
People’s Postcode Lottery staff will join Mark Tami at the workshop to explain the funding available as well as best practice in putting in an application. They will also share practical tips and shows example of what to do – and not do – in the application process.
After this, there will be an interactive question and answer session, and at the end individuals can speak People’s Postcode Lottery staff on a one-to-one basis if they have additional questions.
“Proceeds of the People’s Postcode Lottery have already helped good causes in Alyn and Deeside to the tune of £180,840,” said Mark Tami MP.
“I’d like that figure to be even more, that’s why I’m hosting this workshop in order to raise awareness among local charities of the type of funding available, and to share tips on how to get the most out of each grant application. I urge all local charities to register for the event on May 5th.”
The online workshop takes place on Friday, May 5th, 1-2pm.
