Impact in Action and the Cory Community Fund have teamed up to offer a training session for those interested in applying to the Cory Community Fund. The scheme offers groups up to £7,500 for activities in the community that generate positive improvements in people’s lives. The application site has now gone live, but if you'd like extra support in applying then check out this training.
The same training session will be available on different occasions, so you only need to attend one of the sessions.
