If you are operating in West Sussex or Brighton & Hove, we’re very pleased to announce our training programme around fundraising for this year.

Working with fundraiser Lucy Stone of No Stone Uncovered, we’ve designed a series of sessions to improve your fundraising skills.

The sessions in the programme are:

• Prospecting and Research: How do you find the right funders for you? - May
• Case for Support Bootcamp - June
• Writing for Impact: How can you make your applications and letters to trusts and foundations stand out? - July
• Ask Lucy anything about Fundraising - August
• Untapped Fundraising Potential: How can you find new ways to raise funds? - September
• Managing your relationships with your donors and funders - October

These sessions are aimed at smaller organisations who might have limited capacity for fundraising. You might be the only person responsible for fundraising within your organisation or you might not have much fundraising experience.
