If your group, club or association require funding advice for a community project then Amber Valley Borough Council should be one key contact point for your research and help. The Borough Council employs an officer to help community based projects in the Borough to access external funds.
It is important to take advice early on in your planning. The Council can provide help and assistance that could make the difference between a hope and reality for the project. If your organisation wishes to take up this opportunity and is in need of external finance to complete a project you should contact the Funding Officer, Wendy Burridge at the Borough Council on 01773 841493.
Funding is available from a variety of sources including the Big Lottery Fund, Landfill Tax Credits, Central Government Funding, Charitable Trusts and Enabling Grants from the Borough Council.
Services provided by the Funding Officer include:
- Advice and guidance about specific funding opportunities
- Grantfinder searches to identify suitable funding organisations for your project
- Assistance with the preparation of funding applications
Remember, you will stand a far better chance of a successful funding application if you take early advice.
