Funding advice of the month: Learning from the experience other local groups is a good way of getting tips about
how to (or not to) pitch your project to funders. Most funders have information on their websites about groups they’ve supported –
see if there’s a local one and get in touch with them Look out for opportunities and events to meet other local groups, these are often
advertised in the SVS newsletter, or on community and church notice boards.
